I have a gorgeous EE named spirit that is 1 of the chickens considered a pet(won't be killed until ill) and she has always been a little stand-offish until this spring and she comes on the porch in a.m. with me and jumps on the table next to my chair and scratches/clucks. Seems like egg laying behavior and I gave her some newspaper this morn(given their likelihood of pooping!!) and she scratched at it briefly then jumped down. She stayed near me clucking and I was able to pick her up and she stood on my lap for appx. 5 minutes(neighbors are quite sure I am insane now).Just sort of worried about her now and wonder what her little brain is thinking. Shes black with some white ticking on neck and , of course, a black beard. ramble.couldn't find any pix of her.
