Thirsty ones I like the one in the back, the "testa nera".

Yes they were very thirsty, this pic I took within minutes of them getting out of the shipping box. They traveled quite a distance and were quite thirsty.

I really prefer the dark headed "testa nera" myself, though the US standard of perfection calls for a chestnut more red head on the gold partridge girls.

A tip for travelling Silkies (and other chickens) put a few bits of an apple in the travelling-box, an apple is food and drink at the same time.

Rules are made to be changed !

Glad you got your babies

my girls didn't come in to the local PO till about 8:45 - and I hadn't got a call yet when I swung by (had to go 30 miles to drop my dog off for his vet appointment this morning) and picked them up at 9:30. So all is well, and so glad.

NOW next week I will be getting polish for my daughter in the mail. LOL lets hope the south PO's are a bit better at scanning!
