I would say that our chickens are pets, but they give us eggs and I do love each of them very much.

Before my story begins, if anybody knows what breed the “cross breeds” in my flock, please ( especially Daisy ) tell me I’ve been searching a very very long time, still no luck.
7 years ago we got our first 3 chickens. (2 of them are still with us today.)

Buttercup (past away last winter)
(probably Easter egger)
Green egg layer
Nicknames: Bubbas or Butters or ButterButt(didn’t use that one a lot tho:gig)

White eggs
Nickname: Dandys

(Mystery breed, if you know please please tell me)
