So sad, I would have been on my way to your house right now LOL! Happy to hear the internet didn't have the right info on her, I'd love to have another at some point if I can find one as sweet as she was. I got my son off the school bus a few times with his baby on my arm and she always did so good! I loved her tail too Thanks for correcting what we had read, it will definately keep me wanting another when I find one

They are the only ones I have had..maybe I just got lucky. I got them at around 7-8 months..they did not appreciate being picked up. Something to think about. If you want a hen that will be super friendly with your son..getting a chick and starting over would be a good idea. This way you can handle her all the time. Silkies and Brahmas are really good choices for kids..they are super docile and calm.

Do any of you know a place in the Portland area (willing to drive within reason) that still has chickens available? Preferably in the 8-16 weeks-ish? We found my 5 year olds chick laying out in the field today, she didn't survive whatever got ahold of her and he's so heartbroken Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!

There is a "chicken show" at the fair grounds in Salem this weekend and people will have chickens for sale this evening till 9PM and all day tomorrow. Remember to bring a carrier

Rain has started! Yippee, down with the dust.

Dang, here comes the mud.

And ALL the people who forgot how to drive in it. Took 20 minutes to drive 2 miles when I went into town to grocery shop. But I am glad the warm weather is done. I am not a warm weather person. 75 degrees is my limit.

We haven't had Brahmas but we have a buff and a blue silkie and the blue is and always has been so crazy! Only meaning in a wild way, I started calling her Ninja because it was the only way I could describe how quickly she could jump from one spot to another in the brooder LOL! She's one of my favorites

I did first thing this AM, thank you for the idea... I hadn't thought of that until I saw it mentioned on here.

This was our first loss besides a few sick newborns and I'm pretty sure it will never be easy losing any of our chickens. I honestly never thought I'd say this as the whole chicken thing was my husbands idea but... Chickens are now my favorite animal! Shhhh... Don't tell my husband!
