New Pullet Lays New Egg!
Nermal "Queenie" Splash was the first of the young pullets to lay an egg! The egg was found in a nest box with 2 feathers on it. One was her's and the other belonged to Katy Rock Perry, another pullet on the farm. We have been finding more eggs of Nermal's in following weeks.
Nermal Splash's Back
This is a picture of Nermal as a chick. I only have a photo of her back.
Arlene Splash
Arlene was Nermal's twin. Arlene was caught by the raccoon, along with 5 other chicks.
Katy Rock Perry
Named after Katy Perry, Katy's feather was found stuck to Nermal's egg.
Chicken Chases Person
Young pullet, Silvia Blue loves to chase chicken lover Tara Rapoport around the pen. Silvia is a Blue Andalusian and fits the "Blue" part perfectly. She is a grayish blue on her body, while her neck feathers and tail are a deep navy blue. Silvia is the sweetest little hen, and can very energetic. "Once she stepped in white while we were painting the coop.", quotes Tara of Silvia, "My mom and I had to catch her and clean white paint off of her blue legs. She looked like a UK fan!" All Tara has to do to get Silvia running, is call her and take off! When Silvia chases Tara, Martha Blue, Silvia's sister, joins in followed by Kate Checkie, a beautiful Exchequer Leghorn, and Katy Rock Perry, a Barred Rock. "Katy has this weird way of bobbing her head when she runs. It looks like she dislodged it, or something is hideously wrong." Tara describes Katy's weird phenomenon. All chickens are different, and Silvia is definitely unique.
Silvia Blue
Silvia was the smallest chick of the brood. She turned in to a small, but not the smallest pullet. After her picture was taken, there was chick poop right where her butt had been!
Katlin "Kate" Checkie
Kate was the cutest when she was a chick. Now she's one of the most beautiful. Summer Mocha, a Welsummer, has her tied for most beautiful.
Martha Blue
Martha is Silvia's sister. Martha is smaller than Silvia, but was bigger than her as a chick. Silvia's other sister is Bluebell, who was caught by the raccoon. Martha is as high spirited and energetic as Silvia, though not as tame.
