Ellie Mae



The little black hen is now named. She is a black sex link pullet. She's a cross between two breeds: a Rhode Island Red rooster and a Barred Rock hen. When she grows up, she'll have black legs, a red comb, black feathers on her body and a gold chest. She's already very pretty.




She already has a little bit of personality showing - she's a late sleeper. She'll lay brown eggs.
