We had a nice thunderstorm last night, the chickens made it through just fine (they're now outside & I was kinda worried about them being too cold). Temps are supposed to drop to the mid 20s on Sunday.. kinda worried about that being too cold so I'm going to get a bale of hay & make sure that their home is really full so they can snuggle in. I think I have 3 white hens & 1 white roo. The tallest of the white silkies is developing a little more prominent comb. No wattles yet. And that one is not afraid to take on the two red New Hampshires (they're more aggressive.. I don't know if I want to do those kinds again. They always peck at me when I have to reach in the pen for anything.) I think the little black is also a hen. They're all much much shorter than the "roo" is and none of them have the comb like he does! I read that their "ear lobes" predict the color of their eggs.. does that mean they lay black eggs?
