Oh yes they are very happy
All those 4 share same mother but different fathers..The two grey ones on the middle are proper madam's, they rule the roost and they walk about very majestic, cool and calm manner...nothing bothering and almost like having very stiff upper lip. They do allow me to pet them, but do make some disapproving noises..it is almost like being on my arms is lowering their standars.
The one on the left 'leather head' is few month older..proper spring chick. When she came to us, she had very little facial 'fluff' compared to others = hence leather head. It only took little bit of time and some extra food in my care and she soon bulked up and turned to look like her sisters...though she has always been little lighter framed and don't seem to put weight on very easily. Comes to show how important correct nutrition is from early on.
Because leather head came from different lot..she's always been treated as 'outsider'..not bullied, but the other two grey ones (there used to be third one too) being from same lot are always more close together.
White one is one free spirit..she always doing her own thing and can't care less of their company. She is always first on food bowl or munching treats away..first one running on door, trying to get out and last one going in and often not willingly but I have to carry her in.
Funny things.. chickens ..
