I live in Georgia and it only gets down into the 20’s, but I give my girls a heat lamp that is about 4 feet from their straw and 2 feet from their roost... the love it. They scootch closer to that side together and go in extra early on cold days. I have a silky in the mix and she definitely...
I absolutely loooove my buff-laced polish hen. She is funny, loves people, unique, quirky and just an all-around perfect chicken. She only lays a couple eggs/week but she is always the first bird to come hang out with me. The other is a bantam Cochin and Silkie.... lovely sweet little birds. I...
Oh my gosh I love it!!! I have a little Cochin that looks almost exactly like yours and she is also one who wants to sit on my legs if they are stretched out. She isn’t as snuggly as the Polish but is definitely special! The Polish chick is just so funny! Always wants to nap in my arms.😂
This is all I have ever known too! They come up for a treat but if no treat, no pets. 🤷🏼♀️ I love them tho and each one still makes me laugh every day! ☺️
I have an Easter Egger Pullet that sounds like that too. She’s the only one. Sometimes I have heard my other hens cough or sneeze and it sounds like a honk and always makes me laugh. But the pullet just always sounds like this, not a cough or a sneeze🤷🏼♀️
Hey Everyone! I am curious to hear about cuddly chickens.... you know the ones that run up to you, that WANT your pets and even snuggle up for a nap in your arms? :hugs
Yeah those chickens!!!
I never believed people’s stories about cuddly chickens before, mine have always just tolerated my pets...
I had a barred rock hen that bullied everyone and even killed two bantams that were older than her. She was awful! So I don’t get barred rocks anymore.
As for Cochins, the bantam Cochins are wonderful! Mine give themselves lots of dust baths (I provide sand with Diotamaceous Earth and they love...
So very sorry for the trauma of all of that, DONT be too hard on yourself, these things happen. My dog killed my favorite hen out of the blue, she had always been good with the chickens. I felt terrible too!!!
If you want to add to your little flock, do it! I had two separate little flocks 3...

I am happy to hear that what I have read is right! Hot pink spot early on means cockerel...also means that mine is definitely a pullet and since she’s my only one I am super happy!:wee
I love that your kids are hands on with the chickens.! That’s precious! Let us know how the RIR does with the...
Beautiful polish!! And I still definitely say cockerel.... I can see a streamer or two on the top hat feathers.... in the back ground, that looks like a pullet. I bet he is getting ready to get his crow on! Those noises may be his practice runs. He may not be a big vocalizer, I heard that some...
