Agreed, at times they can be really amusing. Are any of your chickens tame?

The he/she is really friendly...the other pullet is real passive...kinda shy! The chicks are all over the place.

 

[SternRose]

Lol. How old r the chicks?

 

[Pashlock81]

They were 6 weeks on Saturday!! It was our first time to try and hatch any. We started with 36 fertilized eggs in the incubator and ended up with 22 babies

! Lol!! We are down to 11 babies we sold the other half!

Right now I have 2 white leghorns, 1 Blue Andalusian, and a Sicilian Buttercup. The Leghorns used to be so docile when they were chicks, now they are vicious! They try to nip and bite your hand my fingers. The other pullets are calmer. My Andalusian, Charcoal, is the sweetest. She even tries to fly up onto any available leg or shoulder.

I have researched a ton and took me two months to decide on which breed I wanted. And I was meticulous with the incubation period lol.

Deciding breeds is always hard. There are so many I want!
