    I was out in the coop and made a short vid of some of my chickens. They all have their own personalities...and I caught a few of those personalities on video. In the vid you will see my Sultan bantams, Silver Sebrights and Porcelain D'uccles....along with a couple "stupid pet tricks" . enjoy!

I figured I better join just in case I have any questions or ever have anything to share. I grew up with plenty of free range chickens always around...so this isn't...
