pacificpikachuAll right, time to post my new poultry, plus some of my seramas that I just managed to adequately photograph. :D
Name suggestions would be much-appreciated on ones that don't have names already.
First off, I will show off my new birds and then the ones I've had for a while. I am really happy with my flock right now. I don't plan to add any new birds to it for a long time, I feel I am satisfied with the way things are. This has been a feeling I've been seeking for a while with my flock. I now feel like, "Ah, I can stare at other birds but I don't want them because I just love the ones I have so much!"
My new serama rooster:
I have been looking for just the right serama rooster from outside my bloodlines with just the right color and type for a long time, and finally I found him! *A* Gah, I can't get enough of this guy. He is too stunning! He needs a cool-sounding name, like Supernova. Maybe I will just name him Supernova, LOL.
This serama hen is like a patchwork quilt, and her colors are so "loud"! I just love her. I already named her Hanabi. She's pretty small, too. :D
This girl's colors are a bit more subtle. Very pretty, though! I think she's a year or two old, she doesn't seem as young as some of the others. I love her dark head and the gentle patterning on her body. :) I thought I got another, better picture of her colors but I guess not!
Her colors are sort of like the hen above, but much louder patterning. So gorgeous!
I got this hen for $10 (nothing for a serama) and she is downright amazing! She seems to be sort of dun or khaki splash, with feathers all coming in different shades. She has a great tail, too! Awesome.
My tiiiny serama pair! I put them next to a remote control so you could get an idea of how teensy they are. They're still babies, but old enough that they're not going to get a whole lot bigger than this, amazingly. They have really really nice type, too. I've always wanted a pair of tiny seramas and I'm amazed that I got a pair so easily! Because they are young, their color is going to improve and change a lot as they grow up. These two are currently living in the house.
Now for my black east indies pair! They're fairly shy (though I think they'll warm up to me with time), but they are unbelievably iridescent and stunning. If you think they look great in pictures, you ought to come see them in the sunlight! Pictures don't do them justice, especially because they were a little dirty when I took these.
The three new call ducks decided to be impossible to photograph, so I only got a few even decent pictures of them. I may continue the Princess Tutu name theme on them, I'm deciding but I think I will!
The three in the middle/in focus are the new ones. One male who has a green head but a sort of confusing colored body (almost between black and chocolate, I dunno), one black and white female who looks like a mini Tux but with white eyestripes, and a blue fawn female. (The other two are my butterscotch pair, Fakir and Ahiru. Butterscotch is still my favorite call duck color!)
One of the few pictures where someone's head is actually in focus, LOL.
Anyway, that's what I brought home from the show. :D I am very pleased with my new birds, I am really excited to have them!
Here are some of my birds I've had for a while~
Miranda:
Aztec:
Maya:
Inca, who has super pretty penciled patterning:
Butterscotch, who seems to be a white-laced wheaten. Sooo pretty!
This young cockerel, who I'm pretty sure I'm keeping, has the funniest stick-up tail! He's going to be really nice once he matures. He needs a name still:
Charming making a face:
Charming and Splash are the mothers of most of my serama flock:
(Splash is on eggs. Again. I think I'm going to take them away, though.)
This white cockerel is really pretty but I'm trying to find him a home as a show bird. He'll make someone an amazing show bird once he fills out all the way!
Because she got left out of this round of pictures, here's Chiffon (as well as Inca and Miranda) eating:
No new pictures of him, but no chicken photopost is complete without Prince! He is the daddy of most of my serama flock:
My gorgeous sweetheart Magpie, the last day she was healthy. ;____; I miss you, Magpie...
Anyway, have some non-serama chicken photos!
Porcia (silver spangled hamburg bantam) and Eden (porcelain old english game bantam).
Another shot of Porcia.
Storm, AKA Storm-buh, walking the perch. She is twelve, going on thirteen, years old, but doesn't look or act it at all!
Henny-Penny the partridge rock. She has a funny personality. Very talkative, friendly, and at the same time she has a very independent mind.
This is the pretty fellow who grew up from the chick I got from wildlife rehab. :D He needs a name. My brother keeps trying to name him Barbosa, but I dunno if I want him to be named Barbosa.
Almond, one of my splash-laced red wyandottes.
Minky the black silkie. I love this shot!
Head shot of my white-crested blue polish bantam, Athena.
Vienna, silver phoenix bantam, sitting in a poofball.
Fumie, AKA Siiken.
Alpine the manx rumpie mix. Yes, this breed has no tail, and in fact lacks the vertebrae that connect to the tail as well. It's a very rare breed from Iran. I guess it's sort of a shame my two are mixes, but they're so lovely I don't care.
Buff orpington, Constantinople. (Incidentally, her sister is Istanbul.)
And an arbitrary group shot:
Just because people often ask this, yes, I can tell all of my chickens apart and know their names, history, genealogy (if known), age, where they came from, personality, place on the pecking order, and so on. It's remarkably easy for me because I spend time with my birds and they are all extremely distinctive to me. I have no trouble keeping Pokémon names and types and whatnot straight and know a ton of Japanese songs (thousands?) by heart, so of course my not-even-one-hundred poultry are not an issue.
Name suggestions would be much-appreciated on ones that don't have names already.
