Aw thank you! Irresistibly so! Admittedly she gets way too many treats from me I just can’t seem to say no.

Beautiful birds, @Ash56! I love your little bantam Cochin.

What breed is your rooster? He’s very handsome.

Beautiful! Thanks for entering!

You are, as long as they’re different photos!

We bought him as a blue copper maran but now we aren't sure what he is! He's super pretty with those piercing eyes! Thank you!!
