---came and put the little chick in my coop early yesterday morning. Not knowing it was in there, I had opened the coop door and it just slipped out unnoticed with the other hens.... so, he says it is a Aracauna, but I couldn't find any photos of one looking like my mystery chick... But after reading through many threads here on BYC, I found that some stores will sell EEs as Aracaunas. So, I think this one is an EE. Here's what she looks like...Yes I found my camera adapter...

And, here's a shot of my Armoire--re purposed into a nesting center----

Oh and the top of the nesting center was a safe area for the members of the flock low in the pecking order.. There is even a roosting board up there, which you can't see in the photo... It's comical that a few days ago, Ginger my OEG bantum, was using this safe area....Today he's ruling the roost because the OLD GRUMPY ROO got too mean and I had him relocated up the road to the landlord's place....

Well, slowly the hens are getting rehomed. I feel so sorry for her. If anyone here helped her out personally, or by sending the info to someone who helped out, then thanks! Here is a list of what is still available as of last night:

Please pass the word in regard to the availability of our beloved flock. Thank you.


I can not believe the silkies have not been snatched up!!! She had sent me a pic and they are adorable in the pic. If I had means to keep silkies I would have taken them. They are too delicate to hang with my heavy breeds in my unheated coop and outside run in whick they could get wet and muddy...........
