So pretty. I grew up on a farm and always got in trouble for making pets of everything. I had a pet mascovie duck.

Please forgive my ignorance, being a city girl. What kind of chicks are they? I saw "silkie" and "frizzle" by the girls' names. And, I have never seen one with blue on the head, like John Boy. Please teach me about them?

Frizzle= their feathers actually grow backwards!
Silkie = they are "special" looking. Like Phyllis Diller :lol:
Take a look at the pics. These ARE NOT my chickens, but they will look like this when they are grown.

Frizzle chicken - Elizabeth will look like this!

I have chickens too and DH rebuilt a building just for them. We have it all fenced in by they get our everyday to free range. They are all pets too. They come a runnin' when called. I love my "girls"..and my one rooster, "Chico".
He takes care of the girls and my husbands tractor, but THAT is another story....lol...
You Chicks are just so cute. Don't you just love the little ones... :-)
The silkies look like little in featers....lol...
