So true...My husband is always pointing out the similarities of my chickens to "raptors". Even my sweet silkies turn ferocious for food!
LOL-Maybe I should have thrown it into the middle of the flock and allowed them a nice breakfast? Naa, I don't want my egg layers eating ratsThat is great!
Last spring I moved a board and a tree from jumped out. He was a gonner before I could get to him...The big girls are fast when they see a "treat"

How about Sugar and Ginger for these last two ladies!
Your white one looks exactly like my white EE. I named mine Angel because she got the prettiest wings as a chick. I also have a black EE, so probably should have named them Ebony and "Ivory" but Angel stuck!
Cinnamon and nutmeg are both great options.
LOL That is just too funny! "Ebony the great rat hunter!"I just want to brag on my little EE, Ebony. (I think)Soon after letting everyone out of the coop this morning, all the chickens were on high alert letting me know something was wrong....except for Ebony!!!!
She was pecking the heck out of a baby rat!!!! It was so funny! She would give it a couple hard pecks and then tell it a thing or two and then commence at her pecking!
I'm guessing it was in her food dish and she didn't appreciate the "feed thief" one bit. Ebony didn't eat it fortunately but she has her first kill!
Maybe she has some hawk in her!
This is my pretty almost pencil EE, hatched from my own flock, a blue Amer roo and could be any of a number of hens. She doesn't look like anything I have so far!
This one is Americauna and Partridge Silkie. Does that make her an EE? Or no?
