So let's see if we can win a picture of the week. Right now I'm leaning towards number 4 but 3 and 6 are getting votes as well. So here's some fun. Let's vote 1 more time. Which of these 3 are your favorite?

This is very hard! Can I vote 3 times? If I really have to choose it is either #3 or #2 or possibly #1.
Hmmm.
I think if you force me, I will vote for #3 because I love the symmetry of pose. - lots of parallel lines and the clover flowers really set off their color.

My darling Maleficent was killed by an unknown predator. I never found out what it was.

So we decided to add to the flock again. I promised Mrs BY Bob that we would add a Polish hen if we ever got any more so that meant I had to find a Polish hen. Well opportunity knocked when someone I knew had to rehome some pullets that had grown up together. One was a Polish, there was also a Barred Rock and a Wyandotte. I did not want 6 hens but I could not in my heart break them up so 3 more hens joined the flock. So here they are in pecking order.

And of course, the Devine Miss Phyllis

Over a month ago now, Sydney decided that she wanted to hatch eggs. So we decided to let her. @CrazyChookChookLady generously gave me 3 eggs for Sydney to hatch. All 3 hatched but we lost one. So now we also have these two cuties.

And Ned or Nanette (we are not sure if it is a boy or girl)

Thank you for the update. You have such a large crew now! I look forward to hearing their stories.

I'm so sorry to hear about Maleficent. It brings me comfort that she was beloved in her life and had a good home. It's what I tell myself when I'm missing my chickens who have died. Hopefully that is also comforting to you.

I should have started a contest, guess the sex, back when he/she was born. This is going back and forth like the ball at a Wimbledon finals match. 😆

I've said male all along ~ but I could be very wrong because he's not a full BR, but when I asked CCCL about the white spot on his head she concurred all her chicks with that have been male. Now the barring on his wings is quite distinctive & there looks to be a lot of white...Thinking out loud. I'm trying to learn here...🤔

I think you are correct @Ribh. Maybe I was just hoping for a girl for Bob...;)
