This morning they were ready for their shoot!
This is Mellow Yellow, the palest of our "litter" and probably a rooster. He's always very calm.

This one's named Polka Dot, thanks to her exquisite colour! She's probably a daughter (sure hope she's a girl

) from our red x buff bantam cochin.

I have two cochins and I wish I had more! They are the greatest little chicks (not so little anymore - 6 weeks old now). They follow me around the run, always wanting to be near me or will fly up to my shoulder to roost. I could seriously have a whole coop of these little guys and be happy
