Actually we might ought to enjoy it ALL, it can change at the drop of a hat and we'll be complaining about not being able to be outside, my flock has been able to have their swimming water still and I have enjoyed watching them play in it. And it is kind of nice to still be able to use the hose.im so sick of all the confusing weather.
for a couple good hard frosts and atleast a couple inches of snow.
and the other .. is that a roo on the right?!?
Our silkie started out yellowish too but she turned out white except for a tiny spot on her neck that is still creamish and she is fully feathered now...Pictures of a few of the biddies ... they are 4 weeks old
What's the white/yellow one? I had thought her to be a buff silkie until she started turning white? Now her "Buttercream" just looks dirty.
and the rest..
That is a white silkie. The baby fluff can be yellowish, but feather out white. And YES the one trying to be the tallest is a little Roo.Pictures of a few of the biddies ... they are 4 weeks old

Eeeeekkk!! That roo is "Lilli", my daughter named after herself. We are looking for a different roo, a phoenix. I ordered all females from mypetchicken.com .... Not sure how to handle this ....
i havent lost anything to them but i set up a remote camera and when my dog started barking at the coop i snapped pics. I got 4 skinny young(judging by size) boys, digging at my coop. They look bad, skin and bones and maybe only 4-6 months. Im thinking they lost their mom to the wildfire we recently had. I also noticed a very young fox trying to catch my ducks in broad day light last week. And a couple nights ago my friend found 2 baby deer in her horse pasture eating the sweet feed. I feel so bad for all of these orphans. So tomorrow 4 traps are getting set my neighbor is kindly give me 4 chickens that went to freeze camp Sunday to bait the boys with, i think 8lbs of meat EACH is gonna be hard to resist 
and I've got wildlife fish and game standing by to transport these boys to rehab and then off to the smoky mountains! If they don't some quick i might take pity in these boys and give them more food. O on a funny note my neighbor called me an idiot when i went to ask for freezer birds, he said "silly girl, you dont go makin friends with the beasts that is trying to eat them animals of yours! Trap and shoot, thats what i say." Well i said "i can't kill them if they havent killed anything. I cant blame them for coming up to my coops looking for a meal, they dont know the difference between my pets and what looks like a free buffet." He goes " girl your a kind hearted idiot."
