)
Coconut (hen)

)
Dot
Emmeline “Emmy”
Black Silkies (unknown sex, but leaning towards hens):

*I’m not taking suggestions, though because I have name ideas, I just need to figure out a suitable way to tell them apart…because that’s the type of person I am

) who just disappeared one day. I’m guessing she was taken by a hawk. That was easier for me to handle than my Silkies, though, because their heads were mauled and their bodies left right near the coop. 
We think it was a raccon (whatever it was came twice, 1 silkie per night) and we set up a live trap afterwards but it must’ve not returned because we haven’t caught anything.
She's a little ragged right now at 5 weeks, lol.
Yes, at that stage they look so funny. Savor it while it’s here, though! Mine grew so fast! (I suppose they all do.)
You can see in the first picture I posted of them as chicks in their box on this forum: Scuby is the d’uccle in the bottom right corner (literally) and Dot is right above him. So cute to think that they used to be that tiny!
