Silkie thread!

[NNYchick]

Happy New Year! I got my Christmas Seramas out in the coop and I believe they are much happier, the hens weren’t very nice to the pullets now they have some tail feathers to grow back. The Silkies accepted them with no issues.

I don't chime in here as much as I used to. Don't think very many show people come on this thread. Here are some pics of my chickens.

So my tiny flock

This is Heart. My dominant hen. She is a 2 year old Salmon Faverolle.

This is Miss Princess Bluebelle. She is the oldest at about 5. She is the mother to my two baby babies (which are barnyard bantam mixes with a touch of silkie in them I'm told). The baby right in front of her is Peepers who is the older baby baby by 1 day.

This is Tabitha (or maybe Tommy?) Who is the youngest chicken in the flock, but by far the boldest.

And this is Poof (black head) and Floof (Orange/brown head). They are almost 4 months old and we are still waiting to see Floof's male characteristics show because so far they aren't We are pretty sure Poof is a tiny girly girl. But my luck all my young ones will be roosters.

So it happened! My big dominant chicken walked into our currently tiny run and nothing happened! She didn't peck anyone, chase any one, nothing. She just walked in talked a bit and ate a lot of food.

Also my little Floof is such interesting colors now that he's bigger. he's like a patchwork quilt!

These babies hatched today. I bought them from whispering oaks in CA. The 2 that are mine are the Nnaked neck in my hand and the one all the way to the left

Leven here is the most paranoid and best flock rooster I've ever had with the large fowl hens

Handsome. Silkies were our first Chickens. They were so loveable. They did not furnish too many eggs....but were fun to have. I do miss them. Aria

Looks like those Aussie kids made an impact.
