Thanks Pearce 
. Say, how do you like your barnvelders and what can you tell me about them? I love the dark brown eggs from the BC Marans but I think the summer is pretty tough on them here. They tend to be the first ones to quit both in summer and winter here so I wouldn't mind throwing in another dark egg laying breed.
Hope you're having a good night!

Nice looking hens, and quite something they all laid eggs already...they didn't read the chicken manual...supposed to get used to a new place for a least a week before they start laying again...good thing you didn't leave that manual laying around
Guess that saying that birds of a feather flock together is true.

Love the almost pastel easter eggers!
I found that like breeds end up hanging out together too, even if they came to us at different times. It could be that they tend to sound similar????

Aww, thanks y'all. All four are really sweet birds. I have to confess though that the one with more white is my favorite color-wise. Maybe because I don't have any others with pure snowy white on them. She also has a small amount of the blue/gray on her head. Here's a couple more shots trying to show the colors a bit better .
Front view.
The white one actually has some of that blue/gray color on her head and face too, along with a couple of random dark feathers on her body and wings
Here's a few updated pics of the latest lambs. These were born on Christmas Eve. So about five weeks old. The one to the right is the ram and is actually a lot larger than the little ewe, bad angle I guess.
Here he is with mom
These were born on 12/28.
And this one is the next to go. Looks like she's probably carrying a single but who knows
I've got some pics of the dogs, but they're on my camera and I haven't transferred them to the puter yet

Bon, these girls are SOoo laid back that I don't the move phased them a bit. They did seem a bit hungry when I put the feed out for them so maybe the unlimited buffet helped a bit toobonbean01 said:Nice looking hens, and quite something they all laid eggs already...they didn't read the chicken manual...supposed to get used to a new place for a least a week before they start laying again...good thing you didn't leave that manual laying around

That's one of my favorite colors.
If she were mine, it looks like she'd be carrying twins
But my ewes carry their lambs differently than a lot of other sheep. I always see pictures of all these ewes with their big WIDE bellies and they have twins and I'm like...why don't mine look like that?! lol My ewes get a little wide, but they carry their lambs low so you can tell when they start getting heavy bred when their belly starts sinking to the ground more hahaha

My Alana carries low too. Sis is wide like a freaking truck, Alana is low, and Arianna is really kinda both. It's her first time and I have no kidding history on her (duh) so I don't know what she'll have thought I think twins because she is real wide, pretty low but overall real big and thick.
