Floppy and Un-Floppy

Red Door Coop welcomes two new birds to the flock today.  They are one-year-old Red Star chickens.  This is the same breed as our old friend Fitz, who frequently laid large eggs.  We got these two birds from a nice flock in Morrison, Colorado.  I let the kids on the little farm pick out our two birds.  So far, I think they did a great job!

One of the chickens has a floppy comb.  She's on the left.  The one on the right has a smaller, un-floppy comb.  Or is it the other way around?  Hard to tell in a photo.  We will decide on names this weekend.

The new chickens are in Red Door Coop pen and will stay there for a few days.  They haven't even seen Bill, BB, Weezy, or Lou yet.  All six birds have been listening to each other and have joined each other in chicken song.
