I was so befuddled about what breeds to get at the beginning that I wanted ALL of them. I once entertained having all one breed of just Blue chickens whether it was all Blue Cochins, or Blue Silkies, or Blue Bredas, or Blue whatever, etc. But it didn't work out. Now I'm glad I had a variety of breeds over the years & happy w/ our tribble Silkies now ~ at least one is a Blue.

Blue eggs from blue chickens ~ doesn't get any better than that!

Our BLUE Wheaten Ameraucana "Taffy" gave us BLUE eggs! When I ordered a Blue Wheaten I thought there would be more blue feathers? She was a sweetie though

We've been calling Silkies Tribbles for years but some people had no idea what we meant unless they were the old 1960's Star Trek fans! Guess you know what age group that puts us in?!

Seriously ~ w/o a beak we'd never know their front from their back ~ they'd just be one big fluffy Tribble

Where are BYC trophies/medals coming from? There are so many things going on & options & categories, etc, compared to when I 1st joined up. & so many other fowl & animals than just chickens now.

Side note:
Our neighbor's church group came by to sing Christmas carols & pray for my January surgery. So sweet to go out of their way cuz today was a cold spell (for us) 54F. but felt colder w/wind.
