Shelley ended up with just the one chicklet hatching, but now the solo hatchling (A Columbian Wyandotte if anyone is into that level of detail) has two adopted sisters (well, hopefully not brothers! No roosters in this little corner of suburbia please).
Thought they are different colours and breeds, I don’t think chickens are racist.
One is a pale lemon fluffy pom- pom headed Polish (who, if I was a daggy kind of chook owner, might get named "Sherbie" ...and likely will).
The other is a strawberry roan Rhode Island Red who may get called Katie after Katherine Hepburn (one of only two natural Hollywood red heads btw). Both are bantams and just hatched in the last 24hrs and in case you thought we were stealing them away from their "real mother" .
