Our 8 little chicks aren't so little anymore and most of their chick fuzz has turned into feathers. They now like to roost on things all the time and whatever one chick does, the rest normally follow.
left to right: Ameraucana, Dominique, Cucko Moran, Welsummer, Welsummer, Ameraucana, Cucko Moran, Dominique
our choices for names aren't solid yet and we can't tell the which is which on each breed except Ameraucanas. So far we have theses names for
Dominique's: ?, ?
Cucko Marans's: Opal, Olive
Welsummer's: Maple, ?
Ameraucana's: Annie, ?
We are open to suggestions.
They love corn on the cob, this is their second cob so far and they come running to it like a bum rush.
previously called the yellow Ameraucana, now is a white one and is the current boss. She might end up being a rooster, we don't know because she is so aggressive and jumps on the others to establish dominance. She is the second smallest.
One of the Welsummer's and still the most timid. They don't really like to be picked up still but have no issues with walking near you. They usedto look very brown but now their feathers are coming in and I call them the "orange ones".
The Dominique's are still the most friendly and still jump up on you when you say hi. They like to cuddle and fall asleep on your arm so we like them. They are the biggest 2 of the bunch and probably the most developed.
Both Cucko Maran's have similar color to the Dominique's but have much less white. They are easy enough to tell the difference especially when flying around because they have a few feathers under their wings that are pure white and it really stands out as you can see in the picture. Their demeanor is the same. They don't mind being picked up but they don't come to you on their own as much.
The brown Ameraucana is turning out to be quite pretty but she sure is an energetic little thing. She gets the worms first and isn't content to sit still very long. I had a tough time getting a picture that wasn't blurry and still get most of her in it. She's not shy and she likes to explore, most of the time she is the first bird to check out something new in their area or when we feed them bugs/worms or whatever, she always comes first and takes it.
