The early bird does get the worm!

Someone has been very busy this morning. 

We need to get this girl some chickens.

We have winners for all four birds.

Day 1 - Ameraucana
You will also see this as Araucana or Americana, or as I stated in my hints, a combination of the two - Ameraucana.  I have three older birds that I have always pronounced Araucana.  They lay light green eggs and are just easy birds to have.  One of them started trying to sit her nest when I introduced the younger chicks to them.  If I had known earlier, I would have put her with the babies and let her foster them.  I really feel like she would have taken over for me and done a much better job.

Day 2 - New Hampshire Red
This proved to be a little trickier than I thought it would be, but it is from the Rhode Island Red line.

Day 3 - Barred Rock
I left history of this breed on the "Hints" post.

Day 4 - Silver Laced Wyandotte (pronounced wine-dot)
I am really impressed that this one was guessed so quickly.  I was leaning more toward a Silver Spangled Hamburg, but the leg color wasn't right.

I hope you are all having fun.  This has been interesting for me.  There will be another bird posted this evening. 

Now give Google a rest for the day.

  2. Fun ,fun ,fun! Learning so much about chickens. Just love the virtual farm. Hubby just walks by shakes head and says no. I told him there was a prize at the end and he said it better not be a chicken. Funny man.
