Chickens Living In Our Bathtub? Please.

Chirpy, Chirpy, Cheep, Cheep

As the sun sets, you go to sleep on a nice pillow, ready for nice dreams and a nice day ahead. Though sometimes, just sometimes, you have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. In our house, the upstairs bathroom is occupied by Pucca, Jemima, Meg, Bella, Rodriguez, Josephine, and Chicken Licken. These are our "tub-pets", the chicks that live in our otherwise normal restroom.
Pucca, the fattest of the lot, is a white cochin, with yellow fluff for now. She has fluff on her legs, and looks like the mascot of easter. Jemima, the wisest of the lot, is an "easter egger". She will soon lay eggs with a greenish blue tint to them. She has markings like glasses, with a beautiful tawny-brown belly and a dark brown band down her back. Meg, the fastest diva, is a Rhode Island Red. She has horrible manners! Her fluff is pinkish reddish brown and she has very light brown spots on her head. Bella, Megs sister, is also a Rhode Island Red with darker markings on her head. She seems to be the motherly one in the group. Rodriguez and Josephine are Barred Rocks. They are twins, except for the white strip of fluff under Roddy's (Rodriguez) wings. Josephine And Roddy sleep a lot. Finally, Chicken Licken. She is a Plymoth Rock chick, and her fluff is made up of all different splotches of brown. She is the loudest of the family!
Unfortunately, we have no roosters. Not tonight, ladies!
