Meet my girls...
I had a lot of fun picking each of the clucks from the Murray Mc Murray catalog. They each have they're own style and personalities that have been revealing themselves over time.
Salmon Faverolles
Frenchy
Frenchy has been through a lot. She's survived being kicked (accidently of course) pasty-butt and a recent pit-bull attack. She gets picked on because she's different. She often likes to roam on her own, but blends in well to the backyard which may save her someday.
New Hampshire
Ginger
So forever I thought Ginger was a Buff Orpington because that's what I ordered, but now that she's growing up she looks alot like the Rhode Islands that were part of our group order...whoops! And finally no she is..(drumroll) A NEW HAMPSHIRE!!!
I think we've finally got this locked down.(sorry Ginger)
The funny part? My Hubby secretly wanted a New Hampshire, but didn't want to tell me because he didn't wan to butt in. Looks like he got his wish!
Ginger is the sweetest hen. She always had her keen eyes out for snacks and tried to be delicate as she eats from my hand. She will tolerate picking up and has the best eyesight.

Pearl White Leghorn
Pearl
Pearl is the smallest hen and lays the biggest jumbo white eggs. She lets me hold her and she's very docile. She is also the best flier. One day I came outside so see her sitting on the roof of the hen house cackling loud and proud.
Barred Rock
Roxanne
Roxanne is feisty! She is full of energy and doesn't stop all day long. She beautiful, but as I'm learning she's kind of a brat.
