The Boys
Frederick (pronounced: Froderick, as in Froderick Fronkensteen)
Hatched: 2025
Breed: Unknown. (Blue Olive Egger?)
He came to us as a housewarming gift. Our best guess was a split legbar (a Blue Gold Crele x Crested Cream Legbar cross) but now thinking a blue marans x legbar cross (aka: Olive Egger).
Guildenstern
Hatched: 2025
Breed: Silver Laced Wyandotte
We picked up a group of gold and silver laced Wyandotte chicks shortly after moving into our new home and one of them ended up being a roo!
The Ladies
Pei Pei
Hatched: 2020
Breed: Barred Rock
Peipei was a birthday gift for Ryan and the beginning of a chicken addiction that hasn’t ended.
Foghorn (Foggy)
Hatched: 2023
Breed: White Leghorn
Our 3 leghorns came from tractor supply. They’re not nearly as I was lead to believe: Foggy always needs to be underfoot, Hawk will just fly up and land on you uninvited, and Melody regularly tries to invite herself into the house as we come in.
Chickenhawk (Hawk)
Hatched: 2023
Breed: White leghorn
Hawk is pictured here in her preferred state of being toted around after playing in the mud with our grandson.
Merrie Melodies (Melody)
Hatched: 2023
Breed: White Leghorn
Melody is a little more flighty than Hawk or Foggy, but she still thinks she needs to be wherever you are.
Silver
Hatched: 2024
Breed: Light Sussex
Silver, Ember, and Nougat came home from Atwoods due to lack of willpower. We unfortunately lost Nougat (the worlds sweetest Speckled Sussex) to a raccoon 2 days after she laid her first egg.
Ember
Hatched: 2024
Breed: Black Star
A little flighty after a close call with some raccoons when she was little, but loves her treat bringers.
Rosencrantz (Rose)
Hatched: 2025
Breed: Silver Laced Wyandotte
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern came as a pair of straight run Silver Laced Wyandotte chicks and I was certain that I wouldn’t be able to tell them apart. Hah!
Dorothy
Hatched: 2025
Breed: Gold Laced Wyandotte
The Golden girls Dorothy and Blanche came to us along with Rose.
Blanche
Hatched: 2025
Breed: Gold Laced Wyandotte
Blanche is a punk and she knows it.
Dottie
Hatched: 2025
Breed: Ideal 236
I know, naming an ideal-236 Dottie is like calling a dalmatian “Spots”- But I don’t care, that’s her name! Careful, she will just jump onto your head. She’s convinced it’s where she belongs.
Ducky
Hatched: 2025
Breed: Ideal 236
Yea, naming a chicken ducky might be a little silly, but her expressions and mannerisms continuously remind me of Ducky and if you’re an 80’s kid that grew up with the Land Before Time, then you get it.
Petrie
Hatched: 2025
Breed: Ideal 236
Petrie forgot that she was an Ideal 236 and so she didn’t grow any spots. Maybe that makes her a white leghorn– don’t tell her I said that.
Macadamia (Dommie)
Hatched: 2025 at Rook’s landing
Breed: Cross
Dommie was hatched here from a cross of Frederick and Silver. She’s a bit independent, but still a sweetheart.
Piña Colada
Hatched: 2025 at Rook’s Landing
Breed: Cross
Piña is very personable and docile. She’s a cross of Frederick and One of our White Leghorns.
Kahlúa
Hatched: 2025 at Rook’s Landing
Breed: Cross
Kahlúa, pictured here (with Dommie’s butt) pretending to be a demon dinosaur, is actually the friendliest of the 3 littles that we hatched here at our homestead. She is a cross of Frederick and Ember.
