I had 3 chicks kept in the bathtub for a few weeks. At about 2-3 weeks old, one found a q-tip and ran like heck with it with the other 2 chasing behind. It was hysterical because of the size of the q-tip, but everyone wanted it!

well, last late spring, before my flock got killed, my sumatra rooster started a weird, yet adorable habit: when ever they were free ranging and i was sitting somewhere with an idle lap, he'd come over, make sure my lap is clear, then jump up and look around and crow XD i sure miss that little rooster

Ich spreche ein bißchen Deutsch.

Я говорию мало русски.

私　は　日本語　を　すこし　はなします。

Jag talar en lite svenska.

Why yes, yes i am a guy.

My Henny Penny tries to get into the house and cars every chance she can. She comes when called. When she sees a person, she runs at them so fast, she often scares folks. She really acts like a dog.

My every success leaves a trail of failures. Often, the failures are the most fun.

One of my tiny silkie chicks decided it was a good idea to fight a turken teenager. Even though he was 2x the size. They poofed up their feathers and started fighting. Right when the turken aimed his beak at the silkie, the little silkie ran through his legs and avoided it! Then the silly silkie attacked the turken from behind. It was so funny

I have 15 way-too-spoiled chickens.

2 fat Australorps, 1 fiesty Black Copper Maran, 1 sweet D'uccle cross, 3 old Silkies, 1 curious Cuckoo Maran, 2 adorable Ameraucanas, 1 super grumpy Barred Rock, 1 ditzy Naked Neck, 1 aloof Barnevelder, 1 annoyingly friendly Speckled Sussex

and a silly Welsummer.

It was adorable! What a little trouble-maker!
