I have personally seen some of your chickens (as well as buying a few) and they are all absolutely gorgeous ! (And the ones I have bought have very good temperaments.) You do a great job with them. Some people on here think they know everything

, don't let anyone discourage you.

thank you kinsey, temperment in any animal is important and in my book, I won't keep an aggressive rooster, there just are too many nice ones to use a rotten but beautiful one.

I completely agree. If you have a surplus of chicks this spring, I would love to get some more from you.

See, any publicity is good publicity, I guess. I will look to you in spring for silkies now, too. I think some folks just have to pick on others to make themselves feel better.
They seemed like a pretty organized group, too. Yikes.

I feel like sharing some pictures.

My Blue Copper Maran rooster lording over his flock.

A mystery bird that came with the Black Stars from McMurray. She is bantam sized I think, any idea what she might be? Not the best picture. She is long and slender in build.

The coop my DH built me this summer.

A very late dandelion (11/30)

My bittersweet in all it's glory.

Holly Berries! 'Tis the season.

If she came from McMurray, she's a silver phoenix. I ordered one from them. Unfortunately I don't have a good picture of her, but here's one that makes her look fat (and she's not):

She's incredibly meek, spends 23.5 hours a day on the roost, hates being with the rest of the flock. She was broody most of the spring and summer, too. I let her hatch out chicks but she wasn't a protective mom due to her meekness.

Yes!!! I google-imaged silver phoenix and that is what she looks like! So pretty. I like her body shape and proportions. I wonder if she is a bantam or is just a small bird, what I read says they are generally small. She is timid. The lowest of the low in my flock. But she goes out free-range with the others and is super quick, so she's holding her own. My rooster is huge... I hate to think what will happen if he gets interested in her.
