Adorable! Fluffy...goat? Sheep? And dog? (I'm not as good at this as you are...)

So adorable!

Yuki:
Yuki is my Ameraucauna, 2 years hold, and bossy head hen. She lays green-blue eggs. They are very pretty. Before Jasmine was injured (See Jasmine’s ’profile’ to learn more), Jasmine was head hen, and rightfully so. Yuki fought to be at the top, but it was only when Jasmine was separated from the flock that Yuki became head hen. And she made sure to keep it that way! Yuki really is a nice chicken, and she likes to be held and carried around. She’s very friendly to the other chickens, so long they know her place. If not...she can be vicious. I love her all the same, and Yuki’s very relaxed, making her way through the yard, grabbing a bug here, an herb there. I would say that Yuki’s favorite treat are huckleberry, though she likes just about anything. View attachment 2350780

And there you have it! You've met the entire flock.

You can imagine my horror today when I rounded the corner to check on my chickens and caught a glimpse of chicken bodies lying about. And you can also probably imagine my relief that it was only my chickens enjoying the rare sunshine. They look very relaxed, don’t you think?

Not sure if this extra bantam egg is one of Boba's that I missed...or it could be Mochi's first! I'll have to wait around and see.

As you can see, three eggs for me today. How many eggs did any of you get?

I'm back now! Starburst, I love your flock! Jasmine and Ponyo's stories especially (please forgive me if I spelled their names wrong)!

Hoping that Mochi is laying...

Hi, SoftSilkie! You spelled the names perfectly. (And besides, I often misspell them myself. ) Really hoping Mochi is laying too! In that case, 'she' wouldn't be a rooster!

 

[PioneerChicks]

From the pictures, Mochi definitely looks like a girl to me!

 

[ILoveBabySilkies]

That’s awesome! You’ll have to let me know when she does start laying. Does your pullet have a name, by any chance, of which I could call her? Roosters/cockerels are pretty great, though I can’t have any where I am.

Yes her name is Cookie!
