This was a good chicken who was medium friendly. She didn't like to be held but she liked to perch on my shoulder, which was funny. However, one day I came home to a distraught sister bird and...

Orpington

My Orp was an ok hen before she was eaten by a raccoon. She laid well, which is really all I really cared about, but she was the least friendly of my first three chickens. Didn't like to be...

I got my chicks today! Woooooo! They are awesome. All girls (hopefully). Mum got us six, three for me, three for my brother. They are 5 days old. So, the Delaware, Soupy, and the Ameraucana (I think), Grenwich( Pron. GREN-wich), and the Plymouth Rock, Toaster, are all mine. My brother's are the Rhode Island Red, Cashew, and the Black Sexlink, Frogsworth, and the Light Brahma, Flannel. We got them from Wes's Pets and Feed. So cute.

I have chickens now! Mine are an Ameraucana (I think) - Grenwich (GREN-wich) - a Delaware - Soupy - and a Plymouth Rock, Toaster. RIP Toaster . My brother's are a Light Brahma - Flannel - and a Black Sex-Link, Frogsworth, and a Rhode Island Red, Cashew. WOOOOOO! They are 9 weeks old, or around there.

"Anyways, I have no chickens . . . yet"

It seems you need to change that.

Congratulations on your new chicks. They have some creative names also.

Siggy changed! When Mum hooks up the camera to the computer, I will post the pictures. I got them from Wes's Pets and Feed. He really knows his stuff.

When I am rich I will move out to the middle of nowhere and breed all the chickens I want!
