They are so awesome! They make great mothers and friends! I wrote a story on them in my signature if you'd like to see pics.!

I LOVE your story on Lila and Lulu!!!! It made me cry a bit to see how two chickens can be so connected 

Aww thank you.

I have a total of 9 chickens. 7 hens, 2 Roos. I just gave away like 3/4 of my flock that were older so I can get some breeds I really want. I have wanted silkies ever since we had chickens and I can finally get them, I'm just so excited!

@chicken4prez , you have a SSH? Aren't they a cool breed?

Does that stand for "Silver Spangled Hamburg?" If it does then yes, they are AMAZING!
Here is Kristin. One out of two SSH

Our other one's name is Curious. Her real name is Poppy but how it changed to Curious is a sad story.



So once upon a time we got some just normal black hens. So of course we had to name them, So one of them became Curious. She was probably my favourite hen. One day she was flapping her wings and I saw a very large ugly bump under her wing. So I went up to tell my mom and she… hmmm I forget what she did So one day we saw that the bump was gone! It turns out that little Curious was picking the bump out! So we were happy until the full of puss ugly bump came back. She kept pecking it out until one day, I came down with their compost and saw my little Curious dead on the ground. It is so hard to write this

. So one day we got a Ameracauna, A mixed breed and two SSH. So maybe about 8 months later we decided that her name should be named Curious

And our 2nd little SSH Curious

Aww I'm so sorry.
We recently had one of our white leghorns die to an unknown cause, and we just ordered a bunch of chicks along with another white leghorn and we are going to name that one Snowie just like the other white leghorns name was.

Kristin is a stunningly lovely girl!

There's nothing I love more than when those spangles practically take over and the bird is almost completely black. I can't begin to express my sorrow for your sad story about the first Curious. I haven't had to go through loss of a bird yet, but I know it's coming, and the thought is almost too much for me.

But, on a brighter note, SSHs are a very interesting breed! Here's Avalon, my own little beauty.

So pretty! Now it gives me an idea of what my silver spangled Hamburg will look like!

My lil spangled OEGB, Jace, freeranging.

Thank you, @chicken4prez !

Jace is (and always has been) adorable, Bubbles!

@CherriesBrood , I'm so excited for you to get that lovely Hamburg! They are the best subjects for photography, I must say.
