Photo problem. Fixed. Thank you Mom.

Now, these are my bantams, plus the two remaining WCBP hitch-hikers.


First! The blue silkies.
I have four.

 That's Bluebird, and I'm guessing he's a he.

 That's Franklin "Donut", and I think Donut's a girl.

 Aisling (Irish/Gaelic origin, and means "Dream",) is my third silkie, and a total diva. I believe she's a she, though, granted, it's hard to feather-sex bantams. In fact, it's hard to sex them at all.

And last, my little blackish-hued (yes! I needed one,) blue silkie named Magic Head. I think Magic Head's a girl, and while her crest isn't real big yet (like all young silkies,) it will certainly grow and be very magical, I'm sure.

Now, the BFCBs. I also have four of them; no guesses on gender yet, because cochins (particularly the bants) are very slow feathering, and being frizzled (possibly) doesn't help that.

Rayhn.

 Shawn Spenstar. I would be very happy if he turns out to be a he.

 Rowdy, one of my favorites.

And then, Dragonfly, who I hope frizzles, because that would fit her name pretty good.

Now we move on to the MCBs; now I have six of these, and I tell you, they are all quite small, and very spirited.

 Smallfry---quite the boss in the brooder.

 Shelia.

 Sarge, who is a little weak, but I think it's just from the long day.


Michael J "Caboose", who, like Sarge, is a bit weak, but nothing serious, I think.

Jaslyn.

And Nyx, who has spent the whole day sleeping, and barely opened a eye to have her picture taken. 
No guesses on MCB genders yet either---but soon they'll begin to feather-out, and I'll see what I can come up with.

Now, the WCBP seem to both be hens, which is good, and the one David took also seemed to be a hen. We ordered two pullets---could we have gotten lucky with the mystery "rare-breed" chick also?

This is Quinn's bird, Peace---which she was named because Quinn thinks her poofy head makes her look like a hippy:


And then there's the other little lady---

---Who I've been calling Domino. Both WCBP are rather loud for their breed, and have spent most of the day eating. And eating. And eating more. I think they're just about neck-in-neck with the turkens, which have also been pigging out for sometime.
