My chubby little Australorp is so friendly! She loves to get pets and to cuddle into my hands. I’m in love with the breed already.
I do have one grown hen (who I believe is a leghorn) that I rehomed just yesterday. She is a rescue that wasn’t fitting in with her adult flockmates due to a head wound. She passed through a couple families whose hens didn’t like her as well, and since I only have small chicks she is with me now! Chicken math... :oops:

Awww that is so nice of you to give her a home! It's hard with rescue birds and getting them integrated into a flock, but you have the perfect opportunity for her! I'm sure she will be a great hen for you! Plus those big beautiful leghorn eggs can't hurt!

Thank you! I definitely think she’ll do great here, and I can’t wait for those big eggs. I’ve only ever raised bantam Cochins before, so I’m sure I’ll be shocked at her egg size in person.

Here’s the chicks checking out one of my flower pots, they love to jump up and grab the spent buds.

And here’s little Catalpa learning how to use her wings. My Americanas/EEs have grown so fast!
