You can't really see how big they really are from them

This is a 7 month old pullet I sold to a lady in Ky with her child.

This is one of my favorite pictures ever!

Wow I am surprised he doesn't stress out the hens with that ratio. I am glad he is nonaggressive

I think my BO might be deaf. When I call to the chickens, all but her come running. She'll look up and realize they are all gone and start panicking. If she is looking up when I call, she joins in the run to me. I also noticed that went I make a sudden noise in the coop or run, the other girls startle. She doesn't unless I drop something near her or bump into what she's sitting on. What do you think? It's the only thing I can think of that explains it.

It could be a good thing if she is deaf. Like you stated, she doesn't startle easy.

Lol, but I still can't catch her to save my life. What she lacks in hearing she makes up for with her other senses. That, or the others are tipping her off when I sneak up to grab her for something.

I am a big woman and I am quite sure if people could see me when trying to get ahold of my chicks I would be a famous comedian

. Those suckers run FAST. Plus the added advantage of wings. Only my one is easily handled-

No he's great, just sucsesfully incubated around 20 of there eggs, they don't lay many after so many eggs they go broody,
