    Thanks – they are my husband’s ladies – except Zowie Bowie the Ginger Silkie & the new white nameless & not pictured silkie. I haven’t picked a name for her yet. We got her to keep Zowie company. So far they just ignore each other!

    What beautiful chickens! And what a delightful coop too: I particularly like the bell. :)

    Love your ginger silkie – I’ve only seen the white ones – she looks quite cuddly (oops have I offended her).
    I agree about the coop LouiseM – puts to shame the utilitarian set up I have planned.

    @ LouiseM We weren’t going to get a rooster… put the bell up & then got a rooster. A bit redundant now I guess. He crows ALL the time. Luckily he is just tiny & you can’t hear him when you close the door to the coop! Poor Napoleon!

    @ seeingreen I’m hoping to get one more Silkie – a blue one! they are gorgeous too! They are also insanely mellow. I think Zowie wouldn’t seem out of place laying next to the cat on the back of our couch! She is kind of cuddly!

    The coop is all my husband’s work! Now if he would just put a wrap around porch on our own house!
