Lil Blu is one of those "hard to raise" rascals I was speaking of! But you are right, They are very unique!

So what made him/her hard to raise? Let's hear (If you don't mind)

They don't see very well with their mop-tops. They are skittish, and hard to tame, The roo in my avatar needs a bath 3 times a week. They are picky about the feed they eat. One roo got sick and quickly died. among other quirks.

Well alright then!!

Well alright then!!

My suggestion is stick to easier breeds, to have a good new chicken owner experience. Then later, maybe get some Polish. Just my opinion.

Oh I’m not new to chickens... have had them my entire life. My last group of girls were Silkies about 5 years ago and before that were chicks we’d pick up for laying. I’ve always wanted a polish... but yeh personalities and quirks are to be considered!

My little Lucy girl pulled through! She’s still a little pasty but she’s starting to blend in and act normal Huge relief...she is def a day younger and bottom of the pecking order.

Okay can I request some NAMING help?

I have Queenie of the SLW's
Lucy who is my scaredy chick...also a SLW
Lady GaGa in my Avatar

Queenie and Lady Gaga play Alpha games...will be interesting to see who comes out as the top hen.

I have a dark faced SLW:
and a medium faced SLW:
Annnnnd my Black AmerieggercaunawhateverIdontcare :

Those three need names. I bet you're all pro's at this game!

Well, Lucy needs an Ethel. Maybe Queenie needs a princess (or if one turns out to be a cockerel, then King?) As for the Black AmerieggercaunawhateverIdontcare, how about Whatsit?

 

[Ke11yMack]

They are all sexed pullets! So I'm at least safe there

Lucy spends a lot of time alone...so she's not really in it for an Ethel character
My all black girl...super mellow and has really LONG wing feathers...they touch the ground. Maybe Cher?

She left my laptop a little gift
