The 13-yr saga picks up in late 2013:

After the Dominique chick "Xena" passed, we put "Taffy" the Blue Wheaten Ameraucana outside.
She was about 11 months old here. So sweet and pretty.

Taffy layed L/XL pretty blue eggs compared to the regular White Leghorn egg and tinted Buff Leghorn egg.

Taffy joined Bela the white Leg, Danni the buff Leg, Violet & Mini the two Silkies in our rough backyard -- yet to be remodeled.

By Spring 2014:
Danni began developing a proper Leghorn comb

However by April 2014 both Bela and Danni the two Leghorns decided they would bully the gentle Silkies and timid Taffy. We were not sure whether to re-home the 3 gentle birds and keep just the two Leghorns or vice versa? We loved them all but since our friend wanted more egg layers we gave up the two Leghorns. We already gave them a buff Leghorn before so they were happy to get 2 Legs more to add to their layers and I could visit whenever I wanted.

By May 2014 we were left with 3 birds again. It was a peaceful group -- "Mini" the black Silkie, "Taffy" the blue wheaten Ameraucana, and "Violet" the partridge Silkie.

But only 3 birds is not a good number. What to do next?
I am very much enjoying your tales ♥️
