So we went to a small town festival today and they had show chickens. I've already started making my list of new breeds. Saw some beautiful birds. A silver laced wyandotte is at the top of my list and a polish or silkie splash is at the top of my son's.
We have white crested black polish and splash cochin LF.
At first the polish were rather aggressive until a cat took hold of the largest rooster (they were only a few months old at the time).
When he was killed it was as if we had stepped into another flock of polish they were calmer with very little aggression other than
towards the guineas who like to fly at the chickens (its funny to watch).
Our polish roos and some of the females get excited when evening comes around that's when we take the chairs into the large pin
sit and feed them white millet as a treat. They get up on our laps and most like to be pet.
Our cochin are very docile loving birds they always have been and once they got used to us being around they also hop on our laps
for their treats. I have one I call baby but now she is more recognized as the mooch, its like she pretends to pick at the feed on the floor
we toss then when we sit down she is the first up on our lap to get her treat and the last one to give up!
We love our little flock and wouldn't trade them for the world.

Your son has chosen great birds to add to his list!
