My Fav chicks are so darling! Tiny little sweethearts already! They don't run away from me... they actually come up and circle my hand and rub across my palm! It looks like at least three of them have good color. One has a touch of breast ticking, and one... well...
This is the one Mom thought was a cockerel. I think it's just a really mottled pullet. I guess one muddy one out of five isn't bad. Plus, my big Fav Gossie is good looking, so I think my starter flock is going to be pretty good! Now, to find a cock.........
None of my Silkies have adopted my Favs, and they're actually a little bit mean (not like, dangerously mean or anything). I really gotta get another coop or tractor or something built just for them. Gossie likes them just fine, and will try to defend them if they get picked on (or picked up... ouch Goss!) She even tried to show them the roost the first night they were here! I have to say... I think I am falling more in love with my Faverolles than I am with my other birds!
