Nice with a quirky personality, but a little dense and crazy. They lay the prettiest green eggs though.

Oh, and when they are older, tell her to give them grapes for a treat. Mine absolutely love them, and its the funniest thing watching them try to play keep away with their grapes!
I think those are the other two she's getting actually! I just couldn't remember what they were called lol. She also told me if (when lol) I graduate basic training and make my way home, she'll let me get a silkie chick and keep it there with her chickens lol. I want them because they are so ridiculous looking, I mean c'mon! Who cares if their eggs are teeny

I'll tell her about the grapes, I bet that's a sight to see haha.
