Hazel wood hens .

[Hazel feather]

First things first, my chickens live mostly free range in a hazel forest. I’m in Ireland so I can’t say that they love the weather here and it rains a bit so they don’t get out on stormy days.they live in a large shed and I let them out each morning . In this thread I’ll post pictures of each chicken and a bit about them .
I hope you enjoy reading of their antics and their stories!

Time for some introductions!
This is phoenix he is a silkie and he loves his hens but he isn’t very good at protecting them against predators other than cats . He loves watermelon and does a dance when I walk over to him and he tidbits for me and jumps up on my knee ! He is a lot sweeter than any other rooster I’ve ever owned!
Sorry the photos are bad, he wouldn’t stop moving!

Well I never got to introduce this girl but she was very sweet . My little silver black split silver duckwing Marans robin . Today my cat killed her while she was outside as I cleaned her pen.
RIP robin.
The photo is of her at day old she was 6 weeks on Saturday.

This is blorpie , a blue Orpington. He’s fifteen weeks old and has just started crowing! It’s the saddest crow ever with only two notes ! He has recently become quite stand offish ,so I’ll have to keep an eye on him .

This is kaye , a silver black Marans pullet , she has some personality! She jumps up on my back when I’m giving her food and really likes to peck at my nail varnish ( it’s sparkly , so no wonder ) she’s very bossy and pushes everyone out of the way.
