An update on Nugget- Nuggy is now 3 months old, and still a tiny little thing. I'd say about 1/2 the size of her siblings and parents. She goes flying with the rest of the flock, and has a big attitude to make up for her small size. She gets picked on a bit, but not too badly. Her hair style...

Usually this pair puts out black and greys, so I was surprised by the red/brown one. That is likely the "adopted" one out of the bunch.
