haha fluffycolor, don't worry, blackie won't get fried. I grew up with a roo named Blackie, the best chicken ever, and there's no way I could fry any chicken with that name. None of my threats are backed up.
Besides, she actually got renamed Carl. Yes, you read that right.

2 of my 4 pullets have really red combs and wattles, but the only one that is acting like she wants to "lay an egg, one of these days", is not much colored at all. All four of them hang around my back door and accost me for treats when I go out. . . . I live in fear of the day they learn to negotiate the dog door!
