people with house chickens

Chasing the dog... Yup! I had a Leghorn/Jersey Giant pullet who went from riding on my Pit Bull's back as a baby, to charging at him and the cat! Needless to say, at 5 months old, that one became a little much for the house, and the safety of the furry mammals within, so she went to live on an acre with several other large chickens.

I actually got a text from her new owner the other day... Apparently, she now charges at every hawk that dares to land on any part of their fence, wings flapping, shrieking at the top of her lungs.

Awesome.

That's awesome! I can't picture Sunni riding our dog. I couldn't picture the dog letting her either.

Thanks they are lovely little things!

I totally understand "gun math"! I was guilty of that.. And bass guitar math... And snake math... And SAAB math. Haha! It's amazing how quickly they breed, isn't it?

Oh! Here's a quick snap of the babies

I'm guilty of snake math too lol... I'm up to 7! My boyfriend has 12 I think. They're so addictive! Can't wait to start chicken math!

Quote: Good luck with that...I have numerous pics of my four cochins when they were small.But all you see is a brown feathery blur. I had better luck with my Guinea Keets except they blended in so well with the leaves outside as they were born in the fall hatching that halfthe time I would try to focus my tablet nd couldn't even find them thru my viewfinder...Thats good though as they freerange and have yet to lose one. Thank God. I would be in therapy even losing one of the little turds.

Aren't Phantoms babies gorgeous. I so want like twenty or so.

I did not know you have a pitty as well. So do I! Best dog I have ever had. Sorry I should have PMed that but got so excited I forgot. nDidn't mean to leave anyone out of the conversation. Bad me. Bad bad me.

They are the best dogs ever! Mine (Roscoe) just turned 9, and he has been through everything with me (had him since he was 7 weeks old). By far, the sweetest, most lovable, and obviously spoiled pup in the world. He's way too smart for his own good, and understands more English than most people I know! He loves other dogs, cats, and of course, chickens!!! They just coexist like they're two of a kind

Now, of course, I gotta show him off

There he is with Dr. Orpheus. They grew up together

And here he is with the chicken family, and our Corgi mix in the yard yesterday.

Yeah, horse math is much more challenging, I would imagine!

I think I've already decided which ones I'm keeping for sure, regardless of their gender. Although, I'm probably going to try to rationalize keep them all, somehow!

I'm absolutely keeping both Sebrights (especially the super tiny one!!!!!! He's the favorite!), and one of the d'uccle babies already has a special name (turd butt). Haha.

And now, I have a line on some Seramas. Someone please stop me!!!!

That is a gorgeous pup! There's just something about black and white that looks right on these dogs!
