I too have been saving this one!

WOW. Just wow!

Beautiful but deadly.
We are in the middle of an ice storm. I can hear branches and trees coming down all around me.
I don’t dare go far outside in case a big branch lands on me, but I dared go out a little way.
I fear silly Dotty is out getting wet again. I will either bring her inside or put a heater close to her tonight.

Ezzie got a surprise for her 1 week birthday, 6 new sisters. We went to tractor supply first, the only "pullets" they had were Sapphire Gems, Barred Rock and Easter Eggers. They did have Buff orps but they were straight run. Mom decided I could not be trusted picking out hens so we decided to try Rural King. They had Rhode Island Reds, Buff orps and Cinnamon Queen pullets. I had been talking to mom about the Cinnamon Queens being a production breed, and potential future issues. Before we went into the store I thought I had her convinced to pass on them. We get to the chicks, look them over, I'm confident she's getting 3 Buffs and 3 Rhode Island reds. The lady comes to get the chicks for us and what does she choose? 3 Buffs and 3 Cinnamon Queens . I learned my lessen right then and there, if I ever have to buy chicks again do NOT let my mom have any say whatsoever in it.

Here is Ezzie and her siblings. The Buffs are named "Nellie" and the Cinnamon Queens are named "Granny". Again, that is my mothers doing. Can you all spot Ezzie in the group?

My guess would be that Ezzie is the closest to the camera with the fluffy cheeks and more advanced wing feathers. So adorable !

I too have been saving this one

Thanks for the laugh needed that today! Love that fluffy butt

I am intrigued by that too for those really, really cold nights. I have been a bit shaken by the frostbite incident. I could hang it from the ceiling maybe.

Yes I am interested for my wee bald silkies hahaha.

Will do some research on this.
