New squawks in the flock.


Our nice new friend - M. - was so happy to get two new Silkie roosters for her flock. She reciprocated by giving us Angel and Cinnamon - two young Silkie hens. These girls are super-petite, true bantams. For now, they are in isolation in the polebarn. (Dad is none too happy about that!) After they are quarantined for awhile, we will introduce them to the flock. I think that our sole Silkie roo, Billy, will be happy to (finally) have two chicks that are smaller than him.

Roo too many!





This is Blue, one of our re-homed roos! He will be happy on a farm in Lapeer.
We are sorting out our flock, finding homes for roosters, since SIX was way too many. We were able to sell a pair of Polish, last month. This morning, Rose and I found a new home for two Silkie roosters (thanks, M.!) and were gifted two new pullets!
