Helloooo
Pictures of the Silkies eggs:

They are so small and funny shaped!

Also like too add that this is the one hundredth post on this thread!

Edited to add: The brown egg is Roxy's egg she layed on the same day. Honestly it is a fairly small one for her.

Cookie is leaving us tomorrow

. My mum called the woman we bought him from and she is very excited for him; she doesn't have a rooster at the moment and needs one because she obviously breeds them. I am glad that he is going to a home with no other roosters actually because he is still no higher in the pecking order than he was when he was a baby, which I think is really strange since he is a roo in a flock of girls but anyway. I realised that Meg was the one that was starting the fights after all and he was only standing up for himself. He is so sweet, never attacked anything (other than Meg

) I hope he is happy with his new flock and I hope he gets to be the leader that I know he is trying to be. Also, I hope he has good genes and will make gorgeous new chicks that other chicken lovers can enjoy (he is really pretty in my opinion). But most of all I hope that Cupcake and Muffin don't miss him too much. The three of them are really close, even with Cookie maturing he never strayed from their side or tried to hang out with the other girls. Since he was kind of their guard dog, I am going to give them some serious haircuts so they can actually see what is going on and hopefully stay out of danger. It is going to be so sad to see him go tomorrow.

It is sad that he has to go, but how wonderful that he is WANTED and will be cared for at his new home. Here's hoping all goes well for all the chickens and you!

Thanks so much. I know, it is so lucky that he is wanted and not just like ‘yeah whatever I’ll take him’. I know he is going to a really good home. Said good bye this morning, my mum is taking him to his new home right now. My sister cried a lot. I am ok I am going to miss him though.

Flock doing well this afternoon. Honestly they all seem a lot more relaxed. Cupcake and Muffin aren’t getting picked on which is good. I gave them a quarter of a watermelon topped with blackberries as a treat about an hour ago and it had been reduce to a pink puddle in a green shell.

Mum told me that the woman that took Cookie said that he was so beautiful

. She is actually going to give him to a friend of hers that has a flock but her rooster was aggressive and was attack her children so they had to get rid of him. The woman said she could tell that Cookie would be so perfect because of the way he snuggled into her arms when she lifted him up. I know that he is going to be a good rooster there and be so kind with his new girlfriends.
