The Newbies

So far out of the 24 we have named three, if you have any name ideas you would like to share please feel free!





Samantha (aka "Sammy")
Sammy is a Salmon Faverolle (which was originally bred as a utility fowl in France, now it is raised mostly for exhibition and novelty. It is good sized with a beard, muff, feathered shanks, and 5th toe)
She looks entirely different compared to all the other chicks she looks like a round ball of fluff(a very cute round ball!)
.







Rose or Rosie
Rosie is a Red Star Sexlink (bred esp. for egg laying)
She is quite the Nosy Rosie! Whenever you attempt to put you hand into the tub she is right there looking for food and pecking you. Extremely curious, and very cute personality. =D









Felicity
Felicity is the only chick other than Sammy to have feathered feet. She is guessed to be a Dark Brahma (Large gentle chickens like the Light Brahmas. Striking plumage color in black and silvery white for males and beautiful silver penciled steel gray for females. Developed from Asiatic fowl brought to New England by China clipper ships in the last century.)
She was our surprise chick from Murray Mcmurray Hatchery.
