Chunky_Monkey Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I went to our local farm today to pick up some food for the chickens. I 'accidentally' came home with something else. A skyline with a very nice hairdo. Brother wants to call her Cassie, but I’m not very keen on the name. I don’t think she looks like a Cassie to me. What do you all think? A Gold Laced Wyandotte, my favourite chicken in the world, currently unnamed. And a reverse Sussex, named Minnie by my Mum. I was going to wait until next spring for more, but I couldn’t not get them! They were so lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Totally understandable . They are all gorgeous (and quite good face furniture too ). Congratulations . Have you checked out the Chicken Names on Wiki? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 They are lovely girls. How old are they? The reason is ask is because your GLW looks more developed in the comb department than mine, who is 32 weeks old (and has been laying for a couple of weeks), don't think you'll have to wait long for eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunky_Monkey Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 I don't know the exact age of my Wyandotte, but she has been laying for a bit according to the place where we got her from. The two hybrids are probably about probably 22 weeks or older, I would say, as Minnie the reverse Sussex has just laid an egg. Very small, so probably one of her first eggs!

CluckyBucks Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I think the skyline should be called Phoenix, due to her lovely fiery colours They are all lovely. Well done you!! xx xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chunky_Monkey Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 Thanks They are rather lovely After a large debate over the dinner table, we have finally named the Skyline Cassie, although after your suggestions of Phoenix, I thought it sounded better. But as it was my brother's hen, he chose. The Gold Laced Wyandotte is now called Guinevere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
