Thank you Cyn, and yes Red I am learning a lesson, or two. I don't know that Loki is fertile, but I am sure he is vatile. He sure knows how to wow the girls with that little wing flutter.

So for names I've got Loki down. The one with the salmon breast is that the mother to Loki and the other hen of yours? Help me with her name, summer or winter? I am going to name the third hen Crazy Wild chicken. But I'll get her to calm down, I have the patience, at least I think I do. So if you can name them from those descriptions, I'll try to keep them straight.
I went out to chore some, and meant to do it, but ended up being an Ice Breaker. Almost got the cement pad clear and a good part of the asphalt as well. I'm a tad tired this evening, but satisfied that I was able to make a physical blow against the grasp of old man winter.

If I get a minute tomorrow I'll get todays chores done. That sentence seems to be the story of my life. Thank you Red for allowing me to house those fine birds, I am going to learn to love a top knot aka tuft or crest. What is the term for the crest on the hen's head?
Cynthia, do you still have snow? I am always willing to share it, but really don't like to burden folks with it. It is good to see eggs and chicks trading hands and the network working as it should. I have the grandchildren this evening, I might be back on to seek solace…
