Wanna meet my new girls Lucy and Ethel? Well here they are in their prime posing for the camera. I obtained these two beauties from a woman at pottery. She had gone in on an order with her friend a year ago and that friend didn't want all of them anymore, thus now I have 5!! I believe they are "silkies" but I could be wrong. I have to do a little research on their coloring, but check out their feet. They have feathers on their feet and it reminds me of when we put booties our dog during the wintertime. They walk just like it!! This one above is Ethel and the below right is Lucy.
Notice the lovely pottery bowl that they eat from...nothing is too good for my girls!

I love their feathers on their bloomers...and believe it or not I really didn't think this would happen. All of them eating together. When I first got them the older ones would corner them in the pen and step on their heads. It was kind of comical to watch but I guess they are determining their "pecking order".
The new girls Lucy and Ethel are laying the buff colored eggs while the rest of the gang has the beautiful sage green and light blue ones.

Snake's Head Fritillaria. I had to do some research on this one!!!
