Yes, I have 2 of Pinkchicks boys. Both are beautiful Roos, a blue and a splash.

When I bought the second, a splash with other hens, I put him in the pen thinking that there would be fighting for dominanace that would occur. Its like they both said ahh a brother from another mother, and narry a peep out of them.

I really couldn't believe it! LOL

Yes I plan on it. This was my first Poultry Swap and it was so much fun. Sold chicks, roosters, pullets, nest boxes and an incubator. Probably would have sold more chicks if they had been visible in a cage, but I was worried that they would get too cold.

Hah they got too hot instead, even in the shade!! LOL

Thank you to Zoomumsy for the Limoncello cheesecake that I won at the drawing it is really good!! Bought some of Zannas creamed and regular honey and and they are both wonderful. Will need to buy more at the next swap.

Just didn't have time to shop and visit and talk to everyone like I would of liked to. Next time sharring a spot with someone so that we can take turnsshopping/visiting.

Also I plan to get peoples cell numbers if I want to buy something from them. As there were several people that either didn't come or I never saw where they were and so missed out .

I don't think I did. I'm just recovering from everything! And yes I have pretty much all of that! I just started some mustards and two types of collards. They should germ in the next day or so. Oh and do you have any use for one or two of my young Andy Roos? No worries if not.

Zoo, Krista is taking over the coop. I think she's the in the running for the boss bird! Oh and I couldn't find her last night and I was getting really worried. Couldn't imagine where she could be in an enclosed completely safe coop. I finally looked in the nest box currently occupied by a 'viscious' broody silkie...there she was all snuggled up with the broody momma. So cute! Oh and the broody hen is sitting on 2 of Clover's bantam black ameracauna eggs. So far she's being a good mom. This is her 1st time. I have a problem with broody chickens. I almost always have at least one around here. And Peanut is just fine. She's the littlest but she's a tough girl. Of course she's mostly in the house but the weather's so nice I want her to get some sunshine.

That sounds like Krista

I'm glad she is settling in and making herself at home lol. Yours is just quiet and happy to go about her business

I love her but haven't come up with a name yet. And yes, Peanut was always quiet, but nice...just kept to herself mostly but always loved to be snuggled.

Daze333 - just have to say my 4 year old daughter is currently in heaven - she is sitting on our couch (yes in the living room) feeding the two cuckoo marans chicks by hand. I promised she could hold them so we could "tame them down". Apparently someone has been handling these chickens a lot

THank you and they are adoooooorable. they were snuggling and laying down to shut their eyes as we petted them. Needless to say they are settling in. I do have to break it to them that they only get house visits and then back to the coop

BTW zoomummzy - again the mango cheesecake is DELICIOUS!! and my DH has greatly enjoyed it.
Ready for the next Swap!

Since they are mille fleurs I named them flower names. We kept Petunia, Rosie and Jasmine. But as a group I just called them 'the flower girls'.

Nuria and Babette are just such snugglers, and very talkative. Apparently I said something really profound in chicken (I thought I was just making random noises), because they snuggled right up to me and started that soft chirring noise. I didn't even know I spoke chicken!

Yes, very different, I can't eat them! Strictly ornamentals. I am smitten with them. I can't wait to meet them! I am going to carry them around everywhere with me so they get friendly with people. I do not want attack swans, hehe. I have bees and a turkey for that!

Celiandy, I am going to need some diapers for them!
