Black makes the yellow stand out and black goes with everything.  

I  have a one year old RIR and she is a sweet heart.  She is so gentle and my little boy totes her around she wont jump in our lap anymore but if we bend to pick her up she does not run.  She will eat out of our hand...

Sussex are wonderful chickens.  I had one I raised but passed.  She was like a cat.  She did not think she was a chicken at all.  They are great dual purpose birds.  Good egg layers and meaty too. ...

I raised 3 brown leghorns The rooster I had to get rid of he was a mean boy.  The girls I still have just never can find their eggs.  They hide them.  Now I have 3 white leghorn chicks.  They are so cute.  I...

Yes that is what I was going to say also. My australorps lay brown eggs with darker specks on them.

Looks like golden sex link. Which lay the best biggest eggs ever.  I have one.  She is egg machine.  I also have a RIR and she is the smartest and one of the best egg layers also.  Very tame.

Thanks, for your help.  Yeah we do sometimes scoop them up, just cause they are so darn cute.  But they don't like it to much.  But at least they follow me and approach for food.  They are fun.  Thanks again.

Thanks, that helps a lot.  I did not know what I was doing wrong or if something was wrong with them.  They are as I say my little yard clowns.  They  like to try to intimidate my chickens and it is quite funny....

It looks like a NH hen to me.  I seen some at a breeder a couple weeks ago and if you look at the tail, it does have those black tips.  Fluffy but could mean it is just really young right now.  

I got my two last March and gave them plenty of attention and love.  But for some reason once they got a little older they do not like being touched.  They run from us.  They will approach when feeding and even eat out...
