So currently we are thinking 2 girls, 2 boys and one to be determined!
The little turkey who is a bit bolder than the chicks and takes the lead, now has a name, Polly. He/she really likes DH a lot.

I suspect we may have a pet!

They are very pretty indeed and have little muffs on their faces that you just want to pinch.
Anyway looks like I'll have an extra Faverolles rooster if anyone is interested (assuming they make it)

I always thought they were just adorable, never had quite enough courage to get any poultry with feathery feet ;)
