Silkie chicks....awww, cute!

These are my new babies, from Cj's Silkies in Williamsport, PA.  They are three little pet quality silkies.  This little white one is a Splash. His/her's name is Salt.    The next photo is of Pepper, a black lavender split silkie.  And last but not least, my favorite: Cinnamon! (partridge silkie) (he's on my profile pic)


Blackie's Manicure!


Today we gave Blackie, our calmest girl, a manicure! it's PINK!!! She hasn't noticed yet though.










"Can we come in? Please?"













Ahhhhh....nothing like mulch on a hot day! The girls say "WE LOVE DUSTBATHS!
Several days ago I found the girls all roosting on top of the coop door. Shoo, chickies!


"You mean us?!?"

introducing the girls!

I have at present eight chickens: five pullets and three chicks. This blog is for all the photos I like to take of them, and for random ramblings on their various antics and personalities!





Here are all the girls when they were still chicks.
From left to right: Blackie, black sex-link, Rosie (r.i.p.) rhode island red, Annabel, barred rock, Desdemona and Ophelia, silver laced wyandottes.
At the bottom you can see Mary Lou's (another barred rock, Annabel's sister) head.
