Brahma babes and Oreo chicks

There they are!  The four beautiful new hens!They´re installed in the Silkie coop, which although it´s made for much smaller tenants, is very roomy right now, since the Silkies made a mass migration into the other coop with the big girls.Oh, hello!They´re so relaxed, laid back.  They came strolling out, carefully but unconcerned. They seemed quite pleased with the grass.So beautiful.They´re huge!  Big, cushy birds, like if a couch was a chicken.  We carried them over from the driveway in the evening, one under each arm.  HW´s nodded off on the walk.  We put them in the coop with the two remaining Silkie roosters, who must have been pleased.In the greenhouse, the chicks are rocking the chickery with their stepmom. They´re just too cute, with little white bibs and butts.Trying to crawl under for a warming.I offended her, obviously.  That´s the angry mom face.  And stance.One egg didn´t hatch. Two out of three ain´t bad.Mom is looking much better.  Her confinement allowed her to re grow her back and head feathers, so she´s less funny looking.HW hasn´t stopped laughing at how big they are, compared to "Mom".  They can stand up while wrapped in a wing, and pop up to eye level with her.  They´re not going to fit under her for very long. A little nap.
