When I step out the door they run over to say Hi AND to see if I have any treats! When I get out of my car, they run over to check me out! When I walk around the yard they follow me, like I'm the mama hen!! I love listening to the sounds they make as they peck and scratch and walk around, they really, really make me smile A LOT! I am so happy that I finally got some chickens!!!
Here's a quick picture...I have 2 more that look like the little brown chick on the right (OEGB / Silkie mix) that are not in this picture...
Started our first flock of 12 on 3/4/2012 with lots of learning and loss. Our Current flock of 14 - 1 Jersey Giant rooster, 1 Tetra Tint, 1 White Leghorn, 1 Buff Orpington, 2 OEGB/Silkie mixes added 8 new chicks this spring: 1 Barred Rock, 1 Red Sex Link, 1 Black Sex Link, 1 Black Cochin, 1 RIR, 1 Silver-laced Wyandotte, and 2 Easter Eggers.
