trystinnMazel Tov to Scarlett & Big Blue!
This morning, I spotted a little silvery blue chick under the coop so once the weather eased up, I crawled under the shed coop and nabbed the little family. Mamma and her 5 babies are doing great, protected in the East pen. Please don't ask me what I'm going to do with the Frizzles, I'm in absolute denial about that.
All five are a gorgeous poufy silvery blue with feathered feet and whitish chests and or bellies. And all have their mamma, Scarlett's, personality! Which is to say, a lot of it! Right now, given their Cochin/Rhode Island Red parentage, we're calling them Code Island Blues or the Poof Chicks.
*jumping up and down with joy!*
