Lovely
The black one is likely to be a Cayuga.
Thanks so much Liam. Definitely a Khaki Campbell and a Swedish Blue. The black one unknown, can't see it. But there was also another Swedish Blue among the group too. I wonder if they escaped from the farm next door. I don't think they are native to PA.
Khaki Campbell hen on the left and Swedish on the right.
Interesting the Brown one gives me the feeling that there will be a nest and eggs soon!
