I love being around my chickens. They each have different personalities. I have five 17 week old pullets. I am a first time chicken owner.
A really funny thing I see often is two chickens running at each other, coming to a screeching halt, raising their heads and flaring out their neck feathers. Eyeball to eyeball stares. Then as if on cue, they seem to think, "on, hey", then go back to their scratching and pecking for bugs.

Pictures!
Chickens are hilarious. But I think the roosters have the most personality! I love the amateur crows and food dances.

It happens fast. It is hard to get pictures. I also need to get a picture of the ballet dancer, or better called balance beam routine...when they are on a roost or branch, they stretch out one leg and stretch.

Haven't seen that very often. None of mine are in very good shape
Need a stricter routine. Press-ups, ect.
Well I'd still like to meet your birds
but no pressure.
I have three chicks at the moment. They like the camera....

I also like it when I come out to where they are and they all run up to me with "what do ya got for us" looks. If I have the yogurt dish, they are very excited.

Their favorite hangout, beneath the fig tree

Yes! Mine do the same thing. If I come right back out after opening up the coop they assume I am coming with a treat. They have also figured out that my father in law is the bringer of grasshoppers.

Our newest birds are making themselves at home quickly...and making friends.

I love sitting out here and watch them peck around and make their little chicken noises. And nature sounds to go along with it. We have wild quail in our woods, so I hear them calling often

So I crumble up leftover pancakes to the chickens, and look who else wants to be a part of the flock
