Isn't it amazing how quickly they start to lose their fluff. Lovely pics.

She's a winter white (one of the two species of russian), chinese are skinnier and have long tails. Orna is podgy, she's still a baby herself (well, about 11 weeks).

The chicks are growing up far too fast! I thought they'd be fluffy for at least a week, but the feathers started on day 4 (at the tips of the wings).

That was the only one that followed my instruction to stay fluffy Razz Was a bit worried she might eat the chicks, she loves chicken and turkey!
