More Flock Changes

  One of the baby Mille Fleurs is getting intimidated by the bigger chicks and needs to be able to get to food and water better.  So we decided to find them a great home, but then it would just leave one little one by herself in the brooder, so she will be going with the Mille Fleurs.  Also then we will have a bathtub again, which is great for Karsen since he's missing his tub!  A very nice lady that runs Piggie Poo rescue is going to get them on Sunday.  
  So ... we found two really nice 12 week old pullets, to round out the flock and we have a nice variety.  One of the 12 week old pullets is a blue ameraucana, she is very pale blue, almost lavendar.  Then the other 12 week old pullet is half ameraucana and half astraulorp, she is a darker blue.  Both are super beautiful.  We think we are naming the ameraucana, Periwinkle.  And the half ameraucana / astraulorp, Cloud because she is all colors of a cloudy sky.  Periwinkle is show quality, so we could show her at the fairs and other chicken shows ... so much fun!
   Then yesterday we found out that Henrietta is really a Cuckoo Maran.  So we will get chocolate brown colored eggs too.
   We still have Gertrude the Buff Orpington, and Evie the Rhode Island Red.
    Here's some pictures from yesterday of the babies sunbathing and acting silly in the coop.  And some more from today with the official complete flock.
    Also we now have daffodils and Iris flowers :)
