All 3 today! Juin’s 38th consecutive egg was quite a bit bigger than her normal little egg. Such an over-achiever! 😁

I’m sorry for your loss @pennyJo1960

2 today, from Juin and Août

Could be a Marans or a Cochin perhaps

Maybe I misread, but I thought you said there were 3 total chicks with feathered legs. If not, then all should be good!

That looks like the Faverolle to me. I think the mystery chick is the one on the left here:

Your mystery chick is probably the black and white chick with the fuzzy legs. Maybe some kind of Marans or Cochin. None of your other breeds should have those colors with feathered legs. The CCLs could be the two lighter chipmunk ones, but I’m not certain what your WTGs would have looked like...

2 today, from Juin and Juillet :)

All 3 today, and Juin is on her 35th consecutive egg now, surpassing Août’s record! The little beige one below, with Juillet’s big round egg on the left and Août’s pointy speckled egg on the right. Speaking of Août, it rained last night while we were closing all the girls into their coop, and...

3 again today! Juin has now matched Août’s record of 34 in a row :) (We celebrated with corn on the cob)

Both are pullets. With this type of coloring, males will grow dark feathers on their breasts, rather than the salmon color that the pullets have. Here’s a thread with an 8 week old Welsummer cockerel for reference...

3 again today! All in the nest box and all before noon :)

All 3 today, though Juillet’s was a bit of a surprise. She was last to lay, and didn’t do so until we were all out foraging. She just stopped in the middle of bug-hunting (out in the open, I might add), strained a bit and then dropped her egg right by my foot. She gave it one good nuzzle to show...

2 today, from Juin and Juillet, who had a sort of showdown over the favored corner of the nest box, which I had to intervene in. Juin was literally trying to squeeze herself underneath Juillet, who would then attempt to drag her back out from under her by the comb. I just booted Juillet out and...

What beauties! :love That’s so neat that you can identify hens of the same age and breed by voice. I always wondered if I’d be able to tell my girls apart if I got more than one of each breed, so I went with all different breeds to be sure. I recently ordered another Dominique though, and...

All 3 today! This weekend is supposed to be cool, spring-like weather for a change, and I plan to spend as many daylight hours as possible either with the chickens or in the garden :)

2 today, from Juin and Juillet. We had big storms last night, and you know what that means… big puddles! They’ve been feasting on worms all day long. I also gave them the bug eaten collard and kale leaves from the garden, so they got their meat and their veggies :)

3 again today! :)

You’re welcome, I’m so glad I could help! Good luck with all of your baby birds! ❤️

3 again today! Juin is going to have laid a month straight soon. I always feel better when they take days off regularly, but I’m grateful nonetheless for all these cute beige eggs :)
