Thanks, they seem to love being outside and eating bugs and such. The other 10 hens don't bother them at all.

Well, the splash is from Suede and Smoky. Nora is my blue Ameraucana and the mother of the black EE baby. Lately, Nora, who usually would screech at me if I even looked her direction while on the nest, is asking to be picked up and held. I have no idea what brought on the nicer, gentler Nora, but I hope it's not because she's softening up to raise chicks.

Dang, you are right... got my names mixed up. First post edited to reflect the correction.

They are stll cute!

Now, you ought to know the names of all 42 of my birds, Ellie!

J/K! They are adorable, but dang it, I wish more had hatched. At least you got those and each hen has at least one baby to raise. The P.O. disapproves of me sending you stuff, dont they?

Well, each mom is now fulfilled, thanks to Cynthia's great packing skills, because, yes, the P.O. is horrid with them.
