Happy Birthday BY Bob and Mrs By Bob. I'm not even going to try to post a gif because I would fail miserably. Instead here is Bunny wishing you Happy Birthday.

Oh! It’s your birthday?!

There is 2 birthdays in January in my family as well. My moms is actually Sunday. I'm actually starting to joke with her that Chiquita is not my late Christmas present, but actually her early birthday present. Admittedly the silkies have not been her favorite of my chickens, she finds them almost too weird but puts up with me on them. She and Branch also do not have the best relationship. She never messed with them when they were little, actually kept asking the whole time were they old enough yet to place, I think she finally figured out when they were 4 months old that they were not going anywhere. She's came to appreciate and enjoy Poppy, but when I first came down with covid and was too sick to move she went out to put them up and for the first time had to touch Branch. That was also during the time Branch was fascinated with my hand and well, he bit her. She's held a grudge against the "little terror" ever since and calls him evil. I did not tell her until I was getting ready to leave to pick Chiquita up that I was going after another silkie, and she thought I was loosing my mind. When she first met Chiquita it was instant love, I brought home another chicken in her favorite color, buff. She also claimed naming rights to her and now several times a day when she's not visiting her asking about "her hen". If she's going to claim her I might as well let her be her birthday present. I'll win her over with the silkies one way or another yet.

Here are all of my Cochin pictures. I think I have 2 or so more, but they are on the computer. I’ll try to post them later.

And I added a few fluffy butts

Your cochins are adorable, I love the colors you have. My 6 girls are all various shades of blue. I've finally won 4 out of the 6 over and I can now pick them up and hold them without protest. The other 2, still bite me if I touch them.

Thank you! Ruby, the reddish one, is very, very tame. The laced one, is semi-tame, and Marshamllow, is not really tame at all. She follows you, but at a distance, and I can never pick her up. Well, I did 2 times, but that was when I lured her with some grain

I can say to everyone, those Phoenix chickens are spectacular and they are super friendly. Once Violet was perched on CCCLs hand she would not get off and anyone could pet her. So small, so beautiful, and so friendly.

Time to reminisce a bit...
Reading this has me super excited for the 2 phoenixes I have coming in March. I'm getting a couple of 4 different breeds to try but hearing how friendly and neat the phoenixes are, I'm glad I have some coming.

Besides the phoenixes what other breeds do you have coming?

I have 4 iowa blues, 2 welsummer, and 2 EE coming mid-March.

I already have a cochin bantam roo, blue Australorp, black australorp, and a lavender orpington.

I have a Buff Orpington and she is the family favorite and lead hen. I have never heard of Iowa Blues, off to look them up. It sounds like you have some pretty chickens coming.
