Hello .. My name is Juliana and I'm new here, already notice that my English is bad, I have used the google translator so I'm sorry if my text is mistranslated.
I live in Brazil and lived in the apartment until a year and four months ago, when I moved to a farm in and returned to raise chickens. I created chickens when I was little, but a lot'm relearning. In childhood had chickens always treated as pet and the opportunity to live on a farm wanted to return to this hobby. When I went to college I studied biology and animal behavior reminded me so much of my childhood chickens and am now reviewing in practice many examples.
I am currently with 15 copies, 3 silkies, 3 Barred Plymouth Rock, 1 Polish, 3 51 Embrapa (Brazilian commercial bird mixture of Rhode Island Red and White Plymouth Rock), 1 naked neck, 2 garninzé (Bantam) and two that do not know race, even if they can identify them for me thank.
Here in Brazil, there is a very strong culture of chickens as pet, are seen only as livestock, or as decoration (in the case of ornamental), so that usually people who know my chickens are surprised by the docility of the same, since most of the people who created the only contact is playing food, creating even aggressive animals aloof in some cases.
These are my chickens!
And I do not know the race of these two, both bought chick.
