    Official BYC Poll: How do you name your pet chickens?

    I name them names I like that seem to suit them. My neighbor named my BO Buffy, my niece named one of the EEs Zelda. The rest I named, Siobhan and Sinead the Australorps, Mauve and Prudence the BRs, Wynona the GLW, Aileen EE, Bernadette the cuckoo Marans, and Snooki the JG.

    Cuckoo Marans

    I have 1 BO in northern Illinois, she does ok in the heat and is a doll. My cuckoo Marans is a Mama’s girl, sweet, shy, close to laying. Frostbite risks mean I would lean Marans. I have no Roos.

    Silver spitzhaubans

    I’m nervous because my current flock is about 24 weeks old and except for the cuckoo Marans and Jersey Giant who are a bit younger, I have some bitchy girls. They scare the Marans but never more than a peck, I swear that bird is the biggest Mama’s girl.

    Where can I find araucanas

    Chicken Scratch Poultry in Murphysboro IL. Tufted and untufted, chicks and pullets. They ship and I have a family member who got Silkies there and is very pleased.

    Official BYC Poll: Have Your Neighbors Ever Complained About Your Chickens?

    My two neighbors who know about them love the girls and visit them with treats. Since they are 15 feet from being legal no one else knows about them. Thank goodness for a tall house to block sound.

    Silver spitzhaubans

    I may have spelled that wrong. Anyone have these? Need to know about temperament and noise level from owners not the generalized or hatchery blurbs which are either contradictory or not in-depth. Trust real keepers opinions as you live with these beauties.

    Do pullets pace before POL?

    I thought they liked privacy. Every time she goes in and squats down most of the other girls follow, circle around and cluck. This is truly facinating.

    Do pullets pace before POL?

    Seriously?! I’ve had a dog and cats do that but never would have thought a chicken. Especially this girl, neither of my EEs are affectionate, treat motivated yes, the BRs I can see, they are clingy.

    Bless her feathery little heart. I thought the Australorps would beat her but she is apparently not having that.

    Do pullets pace before POL?

    This is Aileen a week ago, except for squatting she was her usual standoffish I prefer not to touched self. She is 21 weeks old, an EE, active but laid back. Today she is jumping in my lap, allowing me to check her vent, following me, pacing, and going in and out of the coop repeatedly. I can...
