So true...My husband is always pointing out the similarities of my chickens to "raptors". Even my sweet silkies turn ferocious for food!

Those are great suggestions! I really like Ginger!

Ebony and Ivory would have been really cute, but if the name sticks that's all that matters!

So many names to consider!

Thanks for the suggestions :) Cinnamon and nutmeg are both great options.

I am just trying to get a couple of nice flocks of Orps & maybe show one day. My progress is slow, my funds are limited and quality will always come before quantity.

Your flock is beautiful. Are you going to mix the Rocks and Reds into the flock?

I'm guessing it was in her food dish and she didn't appreciate the "feed thief" one bit. Ebony didn't eat it fortunately but she has her first kill! Maybe she has some hawk in her!

LOL That is just too funny! "Ebony the great rat hunter!"

This is my pretty almost pencil EE, hatched from my own flock, a blue Amer roo and could be any of a number of hens. She doesn't look like anything I have so far!
