Splash Jersey Giant


Black Houdan. Probably gonna be named Tyrone Rugen after the character in Princess Bride who had an extra finger because she has an extra toe on each foot!



Silkie. She also has an extra toe on each foot!


Olive Egger


Prairie Bluebell Egger


And a Turken! Might be named Drumstick but i’m not decided yet.

Ohh, I should get pics of our prairie Bluebells (I’m not sure if we still have any though) and easter eggers, they look so good as adults! I didn’t know that Jersey Giants were so light, I’ve only seen pics of dark ones. Chickens are so much fun lol.

Oh my gosh, they’re so cute!!! :heart_eyes:

What’s a turken? Is it a cross between a chicken and a turkey, or just a breed of chicken?

Did a quick google, looks like it’s just a breed of chicken also known as the “naked-neck” chicken

Ah, they’re coming into that little weirdo stage of chicken growth. They look really funny for a bit, but then they get their adult feathers, and become… well I just majestic wouldn’t exactly be the right word, but it’s what I’m going to use :joy:

Aw look at em, they’re cute.

I also noticed that they have some kind of bands on their legs? Might want to keep an eye on that, because those could end up causing more trouble than they’re worth.

I like the little black and white one! His head reminds me of an owl!

Her name is Tyrone! She definitely looks very crazy right now with her feathers coming in lol

And the one with the mohawk is Olive! I’m wondering if she’ll keep a mohawk type look or if it’ll go away with her feathers coming in!
