I am asking the lady we got the eggs from what other brown layers she has... As Survivor has a neat neck pattern and a crest! Lol so I'm not sure if a RIR is indeed his mom lol she did say she had a welsummer? Her only rooster is her prized Blue wheaten Ameraucana named Billy Ray lol
Eta: his...
8 weeks tomorrow!
Look at Survivor's little mohawk! Lol
Still can't decide if Subaru(grey) is a roo or not lol sure has the attitude for it lol

Moved our 7 back outside! They spent the first hour rolling around in the dirt this morning. They are currently in the coop, and I plan on checking and maybe taking a photo, but I loved to take their photos in the natural light!
