so what you're really saying is, I need more hens?

And mommy’s little helper had some bonding time with the chickens today.
Never in all these months have I seen mango sprint toward someone who didn’t lure her with food. And she promptly sat down in his lap even though he wasn’t very gentle with her (he’s only 10 months).

This is adorable! I know there are plenty of cautions about children and chickens interacting (with good reason), but as a parent as well, I take the 'monitor it as it's happening' approach just like interactions with my other pets and kids. As Mama, we know when to intervene! Beautiful bird there, and love her name!

She was coming to him cackling and i was unsure if it was aggression or love, but it turns out it was love ! Even when he pulled her feathers a bit, she was being so sweet .

I have one silkie, and while it's a bit of a spaz, it's also quite sweet.
