    Need help sexing Silver Laced Wyandotte Bantams!!!

    Share your pictures of Dust/Dirt Baths

    My ameraucana, splash wyandotte, and barnevelder found the garden bed! All huddled together, they really enjoy each other's company! Half the time Lucy's head (the blue ameraucana) would be underneath Daphne! (the splash wyandotte). Seriously how is that even comfortable!??
