You've got some nice looking boys there and one cute little lady!

Haven't read the last two pages, but...I got a new foster dog today, and tomorrow I'm going to visit a dog I fostered for over half a year. It's been good to have some distractions what with my kitty being gone.
Here's the new foster boy. He's been play bowing at the chickens but I'm not ready to let him be in the same yard as them yet, he's just been seeing them through a fence. He's a Border Collie mixed with who knows what.

I have been there, and I think I looked at your Bresse chicks. You looked familiar in the photos of the Pita Pinta rooster you posted, so I couldn't help asking.

I do not have a very common face. The Neurologist said he thought I looked like William H. Macy but with Black hair instead of Red. I had to laugh, he was a very funny Dr. for sure.

He is adorable! Hope he gets along with the chickens...

Can anyone comment on the differences in the CLB boys.
This one has more fold in the comb and has the largest comb and wattles in the box

This one has more brown and is the largest of the CLB

Reggie is lean and small and by far the friendliest of the bunch

It's a Leghorn comb thing.

From my experience, the bigger the crest, the more of a fold you get. So you need to hit a happy medium.

@BCollie
I hope you find your kitty! I have found putting up signs with a pic around your neighborhood helps. Fingers crossed you find her!
And adorable pup!!

My chicken news is that I just put my littles (6 weeks) in the coop with the biggies (12 weeks). It was dark and the back roost was unoccupied. No pecking noises or reshuffling of positions. They have been hanging out closer to each other this last week, so I hope all goes well in the morning!
Littles:

. They are Sinatra the Australorp and Red the BSL.

Here are the biggies - Penny EE (top chick who now chases the cats) and Henry my pretty LB.

This pic was when I took a mirror outside and they were so curious. They figured out pretty quick it was a reflection and they were preening.

This is the coop - it was designed for 2 chickens. Haha. The roost space is 5x2x2.

They free range in my yard during the day, and have been since they were all a couple days old. The littles used to spend all their time in the front yard because they can crawl under the fence but lately they hang on the same side of the fence. I hope the integration works!!
The littles have gotten a bit big for the rabbit cage brooder inside and I got mice today. Lights out, the chicks realized there are MICE in the room and freaked out. Well, they were concerned. And unsettled enough to accept the transfer.

I was looking more at the color variations between the boys.

Also the girl is quite dark at the moment I really dont know what they are supposed to look like. The pics Ive seen on the net run quite the gambit
