Overly Friendly Chicken?

[JadeFarms]

Here’s my 12:

My favorite, Cookie Crumbles with an amazing back story.

My least favorite Stubby.

My loved, but not so pretty girl, Pancake.

Cannon, my noisy girl duck.

Sailor, my duck runt.

Pumpkin Pie, the medium size male duck.

Mystery, my second most tamed chicken.

Picasso, my nice golden comet.

My beautiful Ayam cemani, Jade.

My white silkie, Westie.

My skittish RIR, Wildfire.

My hopeful boy Ayam cemani, Juno.

They are so pretty! Especially the one on the right, what’s her breed?

They are both Buttercups. 4 1/2 months old and so sweet. They are so alert and friendly, even when they were babies.
I knew nothing about them, but they are now in my top favorite 3.

Ooh, ooh!!! Service chicken! She would have to wear a diaper and be cleaner than clean, no mites or lice or ticks. BUT ... wouldn't she be a hoot to take visiting to nursing homes and kindergartens and such like???

Maybe you could teach her a few basic tricks like of course walk on a leash, come, stay, hop up in your arms, sit, allow herself to be petted, come when called, and kind of go from there. ... sit on laps.... I don't know..... flap wings on command to "say goodbye" .... tuck her head for "nap time"..... could have some real fun with it!

Google "train a chicken", surely there are ideas out there. It's just a matter of getting her to do ON CUE what chickens do naturally. She sounds like she'd do great. Name her Florence NightenHen or something like that. Oh, FUN!

That sounds like an excellent summer project! This week is our last week of school. I think it is an outstanding idea for my daughters and I to do. Their school requires so many hours of community service before graduation. This would be fun!

What breed is she?

To be completely honest, I'm not sure, but she is completely gray and an Easter Egger if this helps narrow it down.

This actually sounds like a wonderful idea! I have already considered bringing her to nursing homes and she has a diaper that I'll start using once she gets big enough for it. I didn't know you could train chickens, I will 100% give this a try.

Are his legs feathered?

Are his legs feathered?

Yes, but they got eaten off by scaly mites, but they are now coming back. His spurs were eaten off too.
