SS are my favorite chickens. Ralphie has them too. Cool birds. Uber friendly. Great foragers. Everyone should have turkeys & SS! And maybe a coonhound....LOL!
I've only ever had 1 SS and she was a hand-me-down from the neighbors when they got out of chickens. She was 5 years old when I got her and I had her for a year or so before I found her a home to retire at. She was the sweetest little lady. She had never free ranged before and all of her toes were twisted but she fell right in to the routine here and was so sweet. I accidentally hatched one of her eggs once lol. I had no idea that old girl was still dropping an egg now and then. I couldn't figure out why this one chick looked so cool and different. I figured it out eventually, AFTER I sold the chick. I never got a chance to tell the lady that bought her what she was.
Right now, I have to say that my favorite chickens are English orpingtons. Not the buffs from the hatcheries, but the well bred, blue black splash. They are such amazingly BIG and friendly things!
This big guy is Titan. He's the obvious leader of the flock. He keeps everyone in line and is a gentle but strict leader. His son, Hercules, is just about as big as him already and he just hatched in like December.

Here, he's standing on the ground behind the silkies, who are up on the wood and he still towers over them

This is one of his little boys. I'm sorry for the butt picture but I needed the one with a turkey in the background lol. He hatched in LATE May and is so big for his age! I found a pet home for him. The people absolutely adore him and he has a collection of his own little pullets
