Black sex-link personality?! and pics

My favorite chicken is Daisy, a BSL. She is sweet and loving. Her BSL sista, both from a local feed store, never grew up. LOL! They are both a year old and Minnine has never laid an egg. She has no comb or wattles, but too is sweet.

did you name them after Disney characters? If so, you might appreciate how my girls (my kids) have named all of our chicks after Disney characters - all 39 of them. It gets hard to choose a name after 10 or so Disney characters are taken. Lol

Was she black and white as a chick, or solid black?

If you wait until dark, nothing will happen. Chickens don't hardly move at dark, since they can't see. My chicks fight all day, but snuggle at night.
