Name: Elsa (like from Frozen - guess who named her)!
Breed: Old English Game Bantam - Silver Duckwing colour
Age: a year and a bit
Elsa recently hatched some chicks for us (two of her babies are below). All 4 chicks turned out to be girls which was great after our previous efforts (under 2 other bantams) of more boys than girls. She was a great Mum but now that she's back in the big coop she's bossing everyone around!



Name: Calypso
Breed: Mottled Pekin Bantam (Cochin Bantam)
Age: 9 weeks
Calypso is incredibly docile and just loves coming out to see the kids and have a cuddle. She has always been super friendly right from the start - a real sweetheart. One of Elsa's babies.



Name: Disco
Breed: Pekin Bantam (Cochin Bantam) - not sure what colour I'd call her - she's not quite white, or cream, or silver and she has one black patch hidden in one wing
Age: 9 weeks
I thought Disco was going to be a boy because she has always been super friendly and totally fearless, and she acted like a boy, always play fighting with Calypso and standing up tall any time danger was about. Thankfully she's a sweet, friendly girl (who bosses the two older chicks around - they are 12 weeks old). She's another of Elsa's babies and she is ultra docile as well. Their two other sisters are more scatter brained though.

Name: Cherry Bomb
Breed: Rhode Island Red (Hatchery Quality)
Cherry Bomb is one of our more skittish birds, but is very drama free and isn't one to argue over the nest boxes. I don't give her much "BYC attention", so I thought I'd enter her. :)

Name: Puffy
Breed: ISA Brown
Puffy is one of the four original hens we have. She used to be the "boss hen", but when we got our EE's they took over. With aging and being knocked down from "top hen" position, Puffy has really mellowed out and is a sweetheart. She is often mistaken for a rooster! :lol:

Name: Moo Cow
Breed: Buff Orpington
Moo Cow is super sweet and my favorite chicken. She has a gimpy foot (which you might be able to see in the picture) and when she was a chick almost died. With all the house visits because of her gimpy foot, Moo Cow is super calm and loves to be held! She is at the way bottom of the pecking order, so she sleeps on the bottom roosting pole which is why she has poop on her. (She gets baths often because of this! ;) )
