…And the Final Three!

All three of these chicks are three weeks old, and you can see how many real feathers they have already.

This is Stormy.  She is a Blue Copper Marans, and she will lay chocolate brown eggs.


Here is a stock photo of an adult.


This is Olive.  She is a Black Copper Marans, and also lays chocolate brown eggs.


The adult hen.


And the final girl is an Olive Egger.  She does not have a name, and needs one badly.  Her eggs will be army green.
EDITED: After an extensive cry for help with her name, she is now known as Fiona.  (And I am still hoping she doesn't turn out to be Shrek.)

She might turn out to look like this.  This is the first year the breeder hatched olive eggers, and so he really doesn't know for sure how they will look.  I hope she is this pretty!


 I know you think I am just exaggerating about the eggs.  Who knows how mine will actually look, but here is a picture of what color these girls eggs are supposed to be.  The top is the olive egger and the reddish brown ones are the marans'.
