The Newest Additions

This is our new Speckled Sussex. We don't have a name for her yet. She has pretty markings around her eyes, almost as if she is wearing makeup. She is the same breed as Queen Elizabeth was.


This is Goldie Locks, our Gold-laced Wynandotte.

Although their faces are different, both of them have chipmunk looking stripings down their backs. You can also tell them apart because the Speckled Sussex's striping is more red, while Goldie Locks' striping is golden. This picture is of Goldie Locks.


Both of these little ones were born on Wednesday, so they are only 3 days old! This is Goldie Locks next to an egg; you can see she is not much bigger!

And here is a picture of me holding all three of the little chicks we got this week. They all fit snugly into one palm, and were sleeping contentedly when this picture was taken :)
