    Yeah it was funny. My husband and myself were sitting in our room and the boys came running in the house screaming 'mom we just found a chicken!! Can we keep her!?!?'

    Thank you much for the very thoughtful and kind words! They really do mean a lot:hugs!! How he got the name Ren was; when we first found him we didn't know if it was a pullet or cock so we name him Henrietta when he started crowing we changed his name to Ren for our 'Rooster-Hen' haha. I'll...

    They absolutely do! He was certainly one of a kind. He kicked off our family's adventure into homesteading.

    Chick behavior
