At this age they don't much look like feather dusters. More like a limp rag.

She is the friendliest little chicken & very easy to handle.
She should grow into a very pretty little chicken.​

Another great name. It seems you have a knack for this.

I think the Polish X will be Africa, & the other 2 India & China. Hopefully they will both lay blue eggs.

They are suitably interesting. Perfect for you.

It was the D'Uccles I was after but I did lose Beatha [cancer I think] so when the Aracaunas were available I grabbed them. I miss my blue eggs.

I am not an english native but I thought there was a suggestion in his post of like owner like pet .

While weird and unusual is a compliment for many of us boring ordinary folks...i’ve yet to meet a boring chicken. Even the most unremarkable ones did one or two totally unexpected things at some point !

I was thinking looks more than anything else. I don't mind if there are no eggs but I do like me some eye candy!

Feeding the little girls separately.
