Here's some tax:

Rahab, finally looking better after brooding the chicks, AND molting. She's 2 1/2 years old.

Sussex boys!

How are you feeling? Starting to get better, I hope?

-- whoops, just saw that BDutch posted as well.

Welcome to Wrexham , and Neyland and Queensferry

The 4th is presumably the egg I found cold next to, not under, Paprika on opening up exactly a week ago; maybe it will hatch late, maybe it died, maybe something else went wrong there, time will tell. But she has gone back on after a quick breakfast, so she hasn't given up on it, and the hatched chicks can wait there a day or two, especially since it is forecast to rain all day here today.

Congrats Perris! Rooting for you these fluffy chicks turn into 3 wonderful pullets.

Did you give the name Wrexham to the partridge coloured one? I would have with such names. The name Queensferry has a better feel for the white chick, bc her down looks as if she is wearing a white ermine fur coat.

In the meantime, I hope Shad has someone to look after him too. Like J who takes care of the chickens. Bc my guts tell me the Covid made him very sick .

yes, spot on Hopefully Wrexham will have plenty of red in their adult plumage, and the other two may come to resemble Sully.

I hope Shad has someone to look after him too

me too. His eldest is not far away, assuming they aren't sick as well.
