I'm inclined to agree. There is a fairly distinct color difference, and Winnie was definitely responsible for #2.

The plot thickens. I came home this evening and Winnie was camped out in the coop, panting heavily. I tried to call her out and she wouldn't budge. I had to physically move her. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that she was sitting on an egg! So we got two eggs and a mystery today. Either...

Well, that was a short-lived poll. We're 95% sure that Winnie left this for us this morning. She was a little reluctant to leave the run this morning and she's basically become a walking squat machine. We checked for the same behavior and the other two, and either were interested in anything...

These ladies were all hatched on March 8, 2017. I think they are getting ready to lay in the upcoming weeks, and thought it might be fun to take a poll. These are the ladies together. They are all quite similar in size. Meet contestant number one! Buffy is a Buff Orpington who enjoys cuddles...

Banana, applesauce, carrots, and spinach. They really seemed to like it. Their water is provided through a suspended U-shaped tank made from PVC, with verticle nipples for dispensing. While this does maximize the room in their run, keep the water clean, and keep it cooler than it would be in a...

My brother has kept about a flock of about dozen hens for a few years, and my kids always enjoy interacting with them when we visit. After some discussion, we got our first chicks in March. We live in the suburbs and decided that a flock of three would fit nicely into our back yard. We decided...

Buff Orpington, Gold Laced Wyandotte, and Ameraucana (Easter Egger?) We got them from a local feed store, which got them from Privett Hatchery.

We only have 3 girls (one each, Buff Orpington, Gold Laced Wyandotte, and Easter Egger) and they are all my favorite!

Hello fellow Texans! I'm new to BYC and wanted to introduce myself. My family and I are currently raising our first pullets, which are now 15 weeks old. We live in a suburb, so our flock is small. Fortunately, all our girls are very friendly and love to be handled. Our EE will fly up and land...

We have three 15 week old pullets. Their names are as follows: Buff Orpington : Buffy the Chicken Slayer "Buffy" Golden Laced Wyandotte: Winifred Wyandotte "Winnie" Ameraucauna (Easter Egger?): Lady Liberty "Libby"

Hello! I thought it's probably time to join the community, since I've been viewing the forums for months. My family and I purchased three chicks in March from our local feed store. They originated from Privett Hatchery. We chose one Buff Orpington which we named Buffy the Chicken Slayer or...
