One should also never sit outside with their dinner while the chickens are out and about. They will find you and do their very best to forcibly take your food away. If you're bored and need entertainment, you can always chase a family member out of the house while they're eating and release the chickens. I highly recommend it.

We learned very quickly NOT to eat outside while the girls were free ranging.. My sister was over from Yakima. she took her sandwich outside and put it on the table went back inside to get her drink and made it back outside in time to see "Wilma" my California white just finishing off half her sandwich

Howdy folks, I'm on Union Hill and I raise Icelandic chickens. I picked Icelandic chickens because I'm an Icelandic chick myself! Here are some pics of my homestead flock, they're still young, 6-7 months old.

This is Prímus:


And his ladies, Kara, Skráma, and Sirrí:





There are a few more photos in my album, from when they were younger in https://www.backyardchickens.com/gallery/image/view/id/5224211/album/6120001

They are awesome birds, very active, curious, and friendly. I love them so much, I could watch their backyard antics all day long

Finally finished the nesting boxes at the new place, just in time:




I might have put an angled board on the top, but that would have required that the cuts weren't *straight*, and this is my first project since 7th grade so I think I did pretty well for myself. The girl on top is a bearded D'Anver ("Midnight"), and those are mini-boxes just for them. Almost done with the new coop-- just the permanent roosts left. Locating those on the garden side of the coop, complete with a clean-out door. No More Wheelbarrows! Fork, turn, plop, turn back, fork, turn, plop. Everyone loves their new digs.

That's Crown (aka Fancy Pants) our bonus Sultan everyone picks on. Poor girl. Sorry if anyone really loves birds like these, but I really think those top feathers are just ridiculous. Whatever. She's a pullet, thank heaven, and I'll take her.

Nice to meet you Islandchicky!

SweetSilver I like that white bird on your new nesting boxes, so fluffy!
