i think Darla's Santa Clause beard adds a certain charm to my funky group of girl...yes? Shes undeniably my favorite, she was my youngest, babiest chick, and is now my funniest pullet. i was going to give her away when i got my silkie because she seemed to cause the other gals to pick on the silk, but after a couple days in prison, i grew very close and very fond of her. she must have known her fate as she shmoozed me and cuddled me until i announced to the faithfull boyfriend that she was from then on out a staple to the coop! . Oh Darla, you shmuck
Mine has no name, mostly because I haven't taken the time to even consider it, although I am pretty certain I have 3 pullets, I am kinda wishing they were all EEs for a couple of reasons:
1) The EE seems to have the best staying alive skills= runs under stuff where alarm is sounded, goes into coop first at night, etc.
2) The EE is quieter and doesn't stand around bawlking, blawking, complaining and moaning (I think this is the family version of what I am trying to say) about stuff.
3) The EE is quick as a bunny, will steal food right out of the others beak and run away with it! Makes me laugh everytime, becuse it is like the others turn to me as if to say, "Did you just see what she did???? ", essentially complain to me like I am actually gonna do something about it!
4) The EE is more beautiful than the other two put together! See for yourself!
She is with her brother in this picture and she is even more prettier now.

I'm so happy to hear that Darla is getting along so well now! I don't blame you for getting so attached to her, she's a beauty! Although the other pics I've seen of her show her off better.
fl_deb, I know what you mean! I have an EE pullet that is 8 months younger than my oldest hens and she is always out with the big girls fighting them for treats! None of the younger ones will venture out into their area yet except for sweet cheeks! She's not aggressive but she is certainly assertive!
