Hatching
Hello All! I'm new to the group, obviously, and new to raising chickens. I have 4 adorable chicken babies, who take a lot of time and energy to keep (and I wouldn't have it any other way). I have a Spotted Sussex: Medusa (strikes fear in the hearts of all chickens). A Blue Cochin: the beautiful Princess Chica (who at 7 weeks is still all white?). An Egyptian: Spunky little Fern. And Last, but definitely not least, an Americauna: the lovely Lila (who looks like a Hawk).
My Girls were a gift from a friend, who discovered that many Veterans were using them as a form of therapy. I know it sounds cheesy, but they changed my life; when your activities are limited and your kids are off to school - they become your reason to stay awake and not wallow in self-pity. Anyway...
Their personalities are so distinct, I find them delightful (which I'd never thought to say about a chicken) and they respond to me like curious children. I adore them and find myself talking about them with anyone who'll listen, lol!
Well, I'm very glad to make Your acquiantance!
