HI!
I'm relatively new to chickens and completely new to this site. I got three (1RIR, 1BR and 1BO) last september on a whim, and have fallen in love with having chickens (so much so that I have 3 more pullets- 1 ameraucauna, 1 white leghorn, 1 black sexlink and 3 new chicks- 1white silkie, 1 black frizzle, 1 silverlaced cochin).
This evening, after a long long day, I went to put the big girls back in their coop. I walked thru the back yard and didn't see them, so I called them. My BR Aretha (who had found her way back to the coop) ran out of the coop and to me, faster than I have ever seen her run and bawking louder than I have ever heard her bawk, and waited for me to pick her up and take her back to the coop. It was enough to bring me near tears.
