I started this post almost a year ago.  I’m never going to polish it up, so here it is as is.

Chickens don’t get in your face to keep you from getting a good picture of them, but they sure don’t stand still, either.

Blondie. She came with that name & it has led to most of the other chicken names. I think she’s the oldest of the motley crew of chickens. I also am pretty sure that she is not laying eggs.

Meet Wild One. So named because her appearance doesn’t lend itself to an obvious name, and when we picked up the chickens, her owner was positively triumphant about having captured her, telling us that he had caught the wild one after all. When we went to select chickens, I must have been pretty emphatic or pitiful about wishing I could have the beautiful one. When I get a better picture that really shows off her coloring, it will be promptly posted. I think she’s the youngest of my flock. Her legs are still yellow and she lays small eggs, which could be because she just began laying or because she lays small eggs. Small being in comparison to the jumbo eggs laid by others.
