These are our future laying hens. The Welsummers have pink feet, the Anconas have black and yellow feathers, the Golden Campines have blue feet, the Russian Orloffs have yellow feet, and the Silver Grey Dorkings have pink feet with an extra toe – I think. We’ll see if I’m right when they fully feather out.

I haven’t decided whether I’ll be showing at the county fair yet. I have to get the entry in soon, so I’ll have to make my decision before I know if I’ve got birds that meet breed standards. That’s one downside of getting chicks later in the year.
