On Saturday my youngest gathered three fuzzy white ones also. He lined them up on the coffee table with his skittles. I thought the same thing about the ick factor with non chicken people. Lol. I think her hair looks lovely.

My non chicken friends would think this is completely gross so I'll share it with my chicken friends. We spent a good portion of the day doing some coop, run, and chicken yard area spring cleaning. Every feather my daughter found she stuck in her hair.

You should try looking on homes.com. And if you find a home you could always call that townships muncipal building for the animal ordinances.

I totally messed up the day my turken/showgirl eggs I got from Kahlua were due to hatch! Somehow I had it in my head that they were due today but I went down to the incubator on Friday to move them out of the turner and I heard peeping! Even though my humidity was low and they were turning that whole time, I had seven out of nine eggs hatch! No sticky chicks and all are beautifully weird looking! One even has six toes on each foot!

I'm so happy you had a good hatch, they are very cute! I think with naked necks...either you love them or you hate them. Their mother is my mom's chicken - she's always LOVED naked animals so I got her a turken chick last year when I ordered from Ideal. Well - I ordered 3 chicks, hoping one would be black since it's her favorite color. And there were 2 buff and one black, she was so happy!

I did find a pic of their mom, when she was a baby, I think this was taken last summer. She lost most of those brown tips as an adult. Right now her back is really bare, I just got her one of those chicken skirt things so she can grow some feathers back!

She looks like some one was getting ready to prepare her for dinner, lol. I'm sure they grow on you though. She looks like she could be saying "what you talkin bout Willis" Ok I just aged myself again there.

Watch out for either Hope or Hopewell - I can't remember which - they had issues with their chicken ordinance a short time back.

Kahlua, she is adorable! I can't wait to see how these little ones grow up! (And hopefully a few pullets in the mix!)

Hope has no issues with chickens, so it must be hopewell. Hope is a bit far from bridgewater (I commute from hope to Hunterdon county for my job and it takes me about 50 minutes). Clinton is really nice, but hunterdon county can be quite expensive! Washington is a nice little area as well, but the town part of it is a bit crowded.
