Meet the Goddesses

They grow up so fast!  We didn't name them right away, although we put together a list of names of goddesses. We wanted to see whose personality would match - give time, sure enough, that's just what happened. The Cochins are three weeks old now; the Orpingtons are two weeks old. 

Meet the Goddesses: 

She is growing light bluish black feathers with white tips - quite interesting

She seems to be the watcher - always on the lookout and guardian of the little ones. 

These two are hard to tell apart, but I can usually find them together - preening.

Li'l Bit here has me a bit concerned - she's half the size of the other Cochins. She eats plenty, and gets rest. She's even smaller than my Orphingtons. Wonder if she's maybe a bantam in disguise. 

These two are pretty oblivious to everything. 

Eris & Circe - like Thing One and Thing Two . . . always up to mischief. We had to make a chicken jail just for them and they were only two days old!  They would dive-bomb the others and bounce off their heads. Eris even reached up and grabbed one of the Cochin's legs and pulled her off the perch JUST so she could have that spot!   Chaos and Mischief I tell you and they're only somewhat better behaved after three days in chicken jail. 

Hours of entertainment - and they change a bit everyday. Their permanent home and run is our next weekend project.
