Norbitt, those Sicilians are interesting as well as pretty. I rehomed a couple of yr olds for a little over a week. Learned that even hens have spurs..............wicked looking things. They lay white eggs (I only want colored) and they do not like to stay in a coop or pin. They are escape artist even with wings clipped. They never made friends with my other girls, or me, stayed together as they wandered all over, including street and my garden. On a positive note they are some of the most beautiful chickens I have seen and would have been great to had them as babies. They are very happy at a friends house on almost an acre with an 8 ft fence with big oaks, so they have lots to scatch and have made my friend happy, plus he is enjoying his fresh "yard" eggs every day. He does say that half the time he has "an egg hunt" to find where these girls have laid. He is having a ball with them.
Enjoy them as well as your other girls................chickens are better than tv or the movies and they feed you as well.
