So glad you like them. They re so sweet. They are fierce when they are sitting on eggs though. Luckily, they are so small that their pecks don't hurt.

Woke up this morning to the ice - sure looks pretty on the red berries - will have to try to get pics! We've lost a few large branches - but so far, no fence damage - thank goodness! Too much rain has flooded the lavender silkie coop - so the young roo is in with the paint silkies (who have managed to stay quite a bit dryer). The larger porc roo, lave and black hen are now in the garage until they get dry - then they will go into a front porch kennel until their pen dries out.
Speaking of the garage - somehow - it opened at some point last night. I have about 1500 gallons of water in there - so I think that helped keep the temp from dropping too far - but it was in the lower 50's. The silkie chicks are in the garage as is the incubator. The chicks were ok, but in a pile... the eggs - the incubator temp dropped to 93. Hopefully it wasn't for that long - and we are only 3 days into the incubation - so hopefully we can recover. Got the temp back up within the hour using hot water and some supplemental heat to the garage. Now if the trees (and our fence!!!)l and our power, can survive the rest of this ice!

Artsyrobin and Nanakat, sorry to hear of your losses - they both sounded and looked like some amazing hens.
