"Racist" Chickens?

[Three Cedars Silkies]

See photo below of my silkies all piled into "like" piles....This was the grow-out pen just before they started laying.

Oh that's too funny!

I have birds that are all in sets of two-- and there is a "twin" mentality going on. I think of them as sisters..

Barred Rocks- Nellie & Nancy
Buff Orps- Lola & Clairee
EE's - Fehrlingetti, Ginsberg & Neruda.
Silkies- Butter & Wilhelmina

Oh yes....birds of a feather DO flock together! My silkies segregate too! Love the pic, BTW!!!

Yep, mine too. My Barred Rocks are always together, and my Buff Orps are always together. Sometimes all 5 forage in one group, but when the group splits up the breeds never separate. If our Wyandottes hatch out I imagine they'll form a little alliance too.

They look absolutely adorable in those little sorted piles, though
