Here's the Naked Neck/Bielefelder (first 2 pics) and Bielefelder juveniles now...sorry some blurry... I know I need to take the heater out...lol. I love that all of them have super yellow feet and this NN/B cockeral is soooo beautiful!

It look's like a rooster type tail on the naked necked one.

The 2 Bielefelder's pullet's that I kept from that hatch have already been in with the adult's now for this being the 3rd day. The adult's are making them stay down at the far end of the run, but for the most part don't bother them. Maybe it's because of the 8 smaller one's that are in the other growout pen by the coop? Haweye is doing a good job at breaking up any hen sqabbles. The 2 pullet's have access to food and water. I threw some weed's that I pulled up yesterday into the run, and one of the pullet's ran undernieth one of the hen's between her leg's and grabed some and kept on running with the prize.

I bet they won't be able to catch them all and they will continue to breed. Anyone that has chicken's, duck's or other small bird's or pet's are going to start loosing them.

Yeah, I bet there'll be a run on hardware cloth and/or BB's or 22's if they're allowed back there. Maybe people could trap them and start their own mink farm...

Maybe there will be a few mink coat's in a few people's future? Winter's here and people will need to stay warm.

Neighbor and I came back from lunch and she showed me the donkey/Clydesdale mixes next door to her. I also got closer pics of the Clydesdales I see from my porch. And the ice was about 1/2" thick this morning and it caught a mouse (not pictured).

No ice here, but have some wind blowing today. Did the chicken's eat the mouse?

Beautiful! Does she ride them or do they pull carts/carriages?
