There was ten of them in my yard yesterday and they haven't bothered my chickens.

I'm still learning about all the different breeds out there. There are some we'd love to have in our flock. Like the Euskal Oiloa. Does anyone have any experience with this breed? I saw them on @dhentzel's Sandhill catalog. Understandably the personalities of chickens vary from bird to bird, however the descriptions I've found on the internet say it's the friendliest chicken breed. Completely unaffraid of humans and like to jump up. My kids would love a super friendly chicken like that and if we have a chance we'll get a couple.
Also with all the sad news on PA Unite recently, it doesn't hurt to have one or two backups.
I highly reccomend the silkie chicken breed they are really calm and I haven't even raised them all of there life to handle them.
Do any of you have problems with Turkey Vultures? I see them all the time swooping around, and I had thought they were hawks before my neighbor corrected me. They have not swooped down at all on my chickens, and I have read that they prefer carrion and rarely eat live prey. I wonder if there are less hawks because of them? They are beautiful when they fly!
Yeah, it's so important for people in PA to vote. Here at NY really doesn't matter - everybody already knows the results. Just kiddingEverybody remember to get out and vote today! It is a great privilege!![]()
@Chicken Egg 17 A silkie in the flock would be a lot of fun for sure. I never knew they were among the friendliest of breeds too. Another plus for the silkie! We got into keeping chickens for the eggs, and now keeping a low production fluffy pet silkie chicken is starting to sound appealing :-oI highly reccomend the silkie chicken breed they are really calm and I haven't even raised them all of there life to handle them.
