My babies! I just hatched them and they are 4 days old. Their name are Spring, Summer, Zoe and Lucky.

Question - does the chicken have to be presently alive? (and no, I'm not meaning a chicken that tasted the best)

Azalea was very special to me. Even as a chick, I could remember her being the friendliest one. She was one of my first chickens and helped me through some hard days.
Azalea was so full of life. She would fly up to the apple tree to escape the run, lay her eggs in the hay bales or behind the rose bushes, and fly up to the top of the turkey pen to sing the egg song. She was also an avid hunter. She would chase down and kill mice and even caught a newt once and swallowed it whole.
She loved to come inside and explore new places to lay eggs, bother the cats, and eat some tasty treats from the fridge.
But what I loved most of all about Azalea was that she was always happy to see me. No matter what she was doing, when she saw me, she would come running up to me. Oftentimes, I would hear her before I would see her. I can still hear her voice sometimes. I will always remember her

Peep, my sweet Easter Egger lap chicken. She was so pretty, and came when I called her or bent down to scoop her up. I had to leave her in KS when my family moved to Germany.

Charlie, my huggable Barred Rock. She loved being picked up. Had to leave her in KS too..
