Mixed Bag of Growers

The mongrel offspring of the Count are starting to develop their colouring. Ginger is exbatt x, black are araucana and leghorn x, black and white are lt sussex x and the brown and grey are blue orp x. The white one is a bit of a mystery as it is so different it seems to have got a mega shot of its dads genes. I have perhaps seen why chickens are racist toward white birds as often I can't see them when I go up and they are sat down in the bushes, until that is I spot a flash of white which instantly gives them away.

ooo - lovely! I don't think I've seen such blue hens before - they're very striking.

I know what you mean about white birds. I let my four out to free range today and I could only find them under the conifers 'cos I could see my Light Sussex.
