I love them when they're all half fluffy half feathery, all scruffy. That one at the front has to be a silkie, check out his tuft! Today they moved outside into the chicken shed (in a special fenced off bit) with the other hens. I hope they all get along :)
And this is a picture of two new arrivals, bought last week at two weeks old from a lady up the road. They're lavender araucanas, and when they start to lay the eggs will be blue!
I like chickens

that first little chicky is too funny.
I think so too :)
Oh This is wonderful, I love chooks (I wish I had a garden for them to run around, I miss the chooks I used to care for)...
But what really grabbed me was the araucanas, its great to see what they look like because last Christmas at the markets I got a dozen araucana eggs and they were so so pretty. There was quite a variety in the colours too, some more blueish, others more greenish, but all made for some beautiful tones. I'm sure I have a photograph of them in a bowl somewhere and I'll let you know when I find it. Oh and they tasted wonderful too, quite a rich creamy flavour, more so than the standard chook egg.
