Entry #1

This is Papaya, my frizzled cochin bantam cockerel. He is 8 months old, and I got him when he was 1 day old from a breeder. He was raised by my broody Australorp, and they still have a really strong bond.
Papaya is is not the top rooster (he was just recently defeated by my EE cockerel) but he still does a great job with the girls. He particularly loves my other cochin bantam, Mango.
Papaya also really likes me. He always comes to me and wants to be picked up. Then I sit down with him and he tucks his head under my chin and clucks softly while I stroke is soft feathers.
He has never once shown any aggression towards me or anyone else, so he truly is a fantastic little rooster. I love him so much!

Entry #2:
This is Greta when she was little. She was “a bonus” chick as we ordered 3 and received 4 chicks. We didn’t have a name for her as she wasn’t expected. Then We picked the name Greta in tribute to the environmental activist.

This is my cochin bantam pullet, Mango. She is 8 months old, and just laid her very first egg! She is an absolute sweetheart. She gets along with all of my other chickens, and she loves to cuddle with any person who is willing to sit with her long enough.
Even though she is 8 months old, she still sometimes goes, "Peep, peep" like a little chick. It's the cutest thing!
Mango is also very chill. No matter what you do with her, she goes along with it without a complaint.
Whenever she's out of the run for some supervised free ranging, she always walks around, very calm and slow, pecking at little things here and there. She is also very careful to not go near any mud so that her feathered feet stay nice and clean. But, if she get separated from the rest of the flock, she runs after them, her fluffy little bum waddling back and forth, and her tiny legs going as fast as they can (which is not very fast).
No matter what Mango does, you can't help but smile. She is such a sweet little girl!

Do you have a favorite chicken? Maybe she's extra friendly and comes running when she sees you or she's the biggest character in the flock. Maybe she was a rescue chicken or you hatched her yourself! Tell us about your favorite chicken!

She is not a she but a he.
The somewhat infamous, Fabio. He will be 3 on April 29.
He is a rehab project and is an amazing flock leader. He hasn't flogged (or bitten ) me in over a year. He now allows me to pet him and I hand feed him daily. An all around great guy.

The best boy I could ever ask for! At first we thought he was a girl and dyed him pink we also got him a pink harness/leash, pink bows, and pink clothes!

This is Tasha, she is my 4 year old Easter Egger, and she is an angel. She is a bit nervous with new people, but she is super sweet to those she is comfortable with. I bought her as a chick from a local country store, and I don’t regret that decision at all. She means the world to me, and I love her with all of my heart. Thank you for reading, and have a wonderful day!!

This is cocoa. She is a white leghorn, and she is 5 years old. She is super sweet, and LOVES youghurt. I bought her from our local tractor supply, alongside her 5 other siblings/friends. I love her so much, and she means so, so, so much to me.
