The Amazing World of chickens

30 day chicken challenge 3

What breeds do you have.

I'm not entirely sure since most of our chooks we breed ourselves, meaning that most of them have a whole heap of different breeds in them, but I will try my best.

Blaze is a black Ostrolorpe (I know I spelt it wrong) though she has probably got small taxes of another breed since she has those beautiful scarlet red feathers on her chest.

Smudge, Pingo and Biscuit are a lot of breeds but mostly Araucana evident by Smudge's and Pingo's hair and that fact that they all lay blue eggs.

That's the best I can do, I'll describe the rest of my chooks and maybe you could help me out.

Poppet is a fairly large but quite skinny hen, she has the shape of a pulley but is over two years old. Her tail is long and sticks strait up and she lays large olive green eggs. She doesn't,t have much of a crest and her feathers are normal and don't really stick out anywhere.

Nugget is like poppet except she's smaller, lays large dark brown eggs and she has a huge, floppy crest. We are pretty sure that Poppet came from her egg.

Boo is a small black chook, we know that she has some bantam in her. She is fairly slow and lays small, pale pink eggs. She has a small crest and is the second oldest chook, right behind Nugget.

Privet is our final black chicken. She is an average size and has fluffy feathers on her cheeks and a fair sized crest. I'm not sure what eggs she lays.

Marmalade and chutney are the same breed though I'm not sure what. Chutney is small, light weight and has numerous shades of brown speckled about on her. She is very friendly and will often run around my legs and hide behind me. Marmalade is similar but she is a lighter colour, she is larger and heavier and not quite and friendly. They lay pinky brown eggs.

Shelby is a light brown, she is an average size and very soft, she has brown, baige and white feathers. She is extremely fast and very scared of humans, doing anything to escape a cuddle.

Maggy is a large, dark brown chicken. She is fairly fast, doesn't like humans that much but doesn't hate them as much as Shelby. She has a large crest and is quite heavy.
