Does that mean black marks?

I believe so, they are splotched like ink stained fingerprints.

Lady Featherington comes by to see what I've got in the coffee cup.

I had sunflower seeds in the cup. So she nonchalantly eats a few while trying to not draw attention. I could almost see her whistling between bites.

Nothing to see here.

Isn't that interesting, a dead plant.

A couple of more seeds.

Look at what Aurora is doing over there! Wow!

This was extremely satisfying

Samara kept positioning herself right in front of me while I was out there. I guess ready for snacks.

Sneaky and devious

Does that mean black marks?

Yes. They end up looking like someone came straight from getting fingerprinted to pick her up. Some are lighter, some are darker and they shift around with every moult.

Funny!
I can’t get over how dainty she is. If I had a cup of seeds they woukd be vacuumed up in seconds!

That makes sense. She is molting now. If you look closer the older white feathers are kind of yellow.

She is more narrow than I remember an Orpington pullet being and boy she can fly. Éowyn surprised her and she flew way up into the magnolia tree today.

I continue to wonder what kind of chicken she is.

So I had a surprise pop out from under our building this morning. My neighbors calico cat was there, with 6, yes you heard me right 6 new kittens. They are tiny but look to be around 4 1/2 to 5 weeks old. George and his gang were not amused, at all. George acted like a true rooster for one of the first times and escorted Momma around the house with the kittens following. The silkies were ganging up on the kittens and herding them to follow Momma. No cat, chicken or kitten was harmed I promise. I snapped a few pictures while they were doing this.

Once Momma and babies were around the corner everyone was happy again. The chicks have taken over this corner of the yard. The area behind the coop and under the building and in front of the coop is their playground. I'm happy with this as if something scares them they dart under the building for cover. They also have a security guard.

CeeCee is let out now every morning when the chickens are turned loose. The majority of the time she is camped out on the sawdust sunbathing. She comes back inside when I put everyone up at night. It has cooled down some and CeeCee loves this time of year so she is wanting to be outside.
