The orpis are getting all these feathers and they look kinda silly with tufts of fuzz still attached and feathers sticking through...I'll take a couple of pictures.

And yes, the chickens are sweet to hold...once you catch them. It's just their nature to run when you try to pick them up...but once you do, they'll sit on you like a pal. And they'll come up to you when they want to and pirch on you.

Here are the babies...Benny Hen is the darker on on the right. Puffy is the one with it's head down. See, you can still slightly see the pink on their heads put there to indicate they are pullets. They are in their cooplet.
