More chickens! These are the first clutch (my sister says they're Easter Eggers, or mixed breed/mutt chickens), and they're big enough now that they get their own box (they kept stepping on the babies). Most of them aren't named, but among the named ones are our queen bee Hennifer (pictured in the first image staring directly at the camera), Peanut is right next to Hennifer (the brown one with the dark spot on her forehead), Grub is second black one up from the bottom and they're marginally more grey than their fellows, and Cinnamon is at the bottom with her head in the feeder (and also the main star of the second photo!)
The yellow/white chicks are harder to tell apart so most of them don't have names yet.
Here's a slightly better shot of Hennifer; she's the mottled one. Also I feel like it should be noted that none of the chickens have been sexed yet and some of them might actually be roosters, but until proven otherwise, most of them are either she/her or they/them.
Also you can see Bird (yes, that's her name; my 3yo nephew named her) in this pic, she's the pale one with the three black spots on the top of her head. I think the pale one at the bottom is Spots, who has a collection of spots on her butt.
A juvenile delinquent debating whether or not they can escape the box.
This one only has two black spots on their head (as opposed to Bird's three) so we've been calling them "False Bird". They and Worm (one of the black birbs I don't have a good close up of) are escape artists.
This scrunkly little crow chicken is Indominus Rex, who's just inexplicably way more dinosaur-looking than all her siblings. She's got a patch of down missing from her right shoulder which has just never grown in.
She's the runt of litter, so to speak, and we all love her. Gremlin creature.
Cameo by my sister's hands and also the second clutch!
I'm gonna make another post for the babies because I have a lot of pictures and tumblr isn't gonna let me put them all in one post.
