The chicken in the photo is a Welsummer and next to her is an Ameraucana. The Welsummers lay reddish-brown speckled eggs and Ameraucana lay blue eggs, which is far different from the assortment of browns we have.

The chickens have been doing well, however they don’t have much grass in their enclosure since it’s been raining a lot and they ate it all. There is probably some worms for them to eat though so that’s good. Yesterday, a large bald eagle flew over the front yard and the chickens freaked out quite a bit, but the eagle didn’t pay them any attention, so they eventually calmed down. The chickens have been enjoying the little sunbreak we’ve been having and they’ve been running around and playing, I mean they still stay out of the coop even when it’s raining because their crazy but when it’s not raining at least they’re dry even if their feet get a little muddy.
