Thanks, John!
Skip and I picked out our favorite "eye candy" Bantams together last year, when we decided to keep chickens (2nd time for me, 1st for Skip).
We've sold the 5 Mottled Cochins and 3 Silver Sebrights since that pic was taken and are getting more into Silver Spangled Hamburgs, for a dual-purpose breed. Skip loves his Silkies and I love my Easter Eggers (gotta have green eggs and ham atleast once a week for dinner!
), so they'll always be around.
The little Cochins were awesome but constantly wanted to stay broody in the winter (and so did the Silkies) and I didn't want 6 broody hens at the time (not enough room here!) so we sold them to a wonderful family that was just getting into chicken-keeping.
We sold the Sebrights to a forum member, Kentucky~Momma and family. I keep in touch with both families occassionally to see how "the kids" are doing, even.
They'll always be "my kids" since they were the first day-olds I ever raised!
Gee, sorry for rambling on...I can talk about our gang all day and not get tired of it...
