Forgive the lame names. We're going with the things that stick in the mind of a two year old. Goldie is a Golden Lace Wyandotte. She is a big beautiful lady. Though they have the reputation for being dominate, Mother Hen has her in check and she's content to be the buddy.
As she's grown, her rose comb has gotten much more pronounced. She's also the most enthusiastic drinker and gives us a happy chuckles when we change the water.
We're pretty sure she's laying eggs. We collected four eggs yesterday. We're finally collecting enough to share with the neighbors just as the national egg supply is compromised. Keeping backyard chickens is not a realistic solution for everyone to the current food safety problem, but for now we're happy to have safe eggs from happy fluffy ladies.
