A friend of ours was going to move to Florida and give us all her chickens(9 in all; comets, RIR, Leghorns)...but she didn't move. She was sweet enough to still give my girls 2 chickens(both comets). One is named "Ginger"(from Chicken Run), the other "Bobbie". Ginger is the ruler of our flock and smart. We then got 3, month old Wynadotte pullets(a columbian, a silver and a gold).
Unfortunately, the silver just died...but after I happened upon some extremely nice folks that live near by, that can get us some BLRW...which is what we wanted all along, but didn't have a way to get locally. So, now...we have 2 blue and 2 splash on the way! I never thought I would get so into chickens so quickly. But, my kids and I would never go back to not have them. They are part of our family
We love them.
Now if I could figure HOW to post photos
