Frilly , Fluffy Chickens !

The chicks that arrived in the mail in January are growing up quickly. This is one of my favorites, she is a white bantam frizzled Cochin.
See how curly this little frizzled chick is.
I have been brooding the chicks in our dove-cote and the doves are nesting too.
This dove cannot completely cover her growing baby anymore, can you see most of her baby sticking out from under her?
Here is a smaller frizzled Cochin next to a barred bantam Cochin.
Look at the comparison of frizzled feathers ( top ) next to Silkie feathers. Both are so pretty to me, but the Silkie is by far the softest and fluffiest.
I love my chickens, and the doves too!
