A ‘Parting Gift’

I’m sure you all fondly remember Mama Kloek Kloek and old Gideon.  They both had beautiful ‘caps’ on their heads!  It seems this isn’t a very common gene in the chickens here but I do know one thing for sure, it comes from the gorgeous birds of Team Traudl!

Just look what Gideon (& Mama Kloek Kloek) left for us in the form of eggs…

Young ‘Giddy’ strutting his stuff!

This little gorgeous (looks like a Gillian at this stage!) has the colouring of Gideon and the excessive head feathers of Mama Kloek Kloek!  Remember a while back I wrote a piece on Mama Kloek Kloek’s

Chicks – she was given 26 extra from the incubator making a total of 32!  These chicks are now the size of this little ‘Giddy’ or ‘Elvis’ as my husband likes to call him (the hairdo!).

Oh, and more good news… there appears to be a second chick with a cap of feathers in the last batch! 😉  God is Good!
