This is “Bellie”, the white one. My little Bellie girl. She is an Ideal 236. Of all my hens, she is the sweetest one. Every time I am in the coop to clean she hops up on the roosting bar where I am so she can get picked up for lovin’s. She lets me hold her and give her kisses all the time and closes her little eyes when I love on her. All my other hens come to me but don’t want loved on. She’s the only one. It makes being a chicken tender worth it!! 🥰🐔View attachment 4043076
What a sweet girl! She reminds me of my Sarah. Chickens who love to be cuddled are always the best. 🥰
 
Aww... Is he the one in your profile picture? I love his feathers! :love
Yes he is! I loved his feathers and fell in love with his picture so I made the hour and a half trip to pick him and two other sweet silkie boys up a couple years ago! I told myself I'd never travel over 30 minutes for a rooster, well I did and I do it over and over again if they were all like Roo! I'm hoping to hatch some of his babies in the spring:love

Little miss Kyle!!!! 😊 She's adorable. She's a black bantam frizzle! She's got some friends, but I think she also loves to hang out with dogs. But she better be careful she was pecking bugs off one of our dogs and he just got up and showed his teeth at her! Some nights she'll sneak up on the porch, in the dog box!!!!😶 The guy that gave her to us. Said he had too many roosters, so he gave us him ("her'). But one day she laid an egg, after that she laid a few more eggs. But then stopped and never laid one again, when we got her she had one buddy. Her name was blackie, but she was old. And one day died. And so Kyle was all by herself, and she would come running up to us. She was so lonely. So we got a rooster and hen. And they had chicks. And now we are where we are today!! She's so sweet! We used to raise and sell German shepherds! She grew up around the puppy lot. And she loves dog food!🤦😂 And she would try to poke their eyes out!! 😧 😆 But she is an adorable little girl!!!!!!! I couldn't decide which photo!! I have sooo many!! 😂 But the picture I decided to use. Was actually when we cut down a tree, I put her on it. And we were not thinking, but she got stuck to the sap!!!! 😂😧🤦

What a wonderful story! I'm glad you were to get her, even though she was supposed to be a rooster. She's very pretty. It's not every day you get a chicken who's good with dogs. 🥰
 
View attachment 4043368This is Johnny Cash after we got him I picked up and then a sat him back down and he tried to jump back up in my hands and we've been friends ever since he's just the friendliest bantam ever
Oh, I love the name! I bet he's a big music fan, right? Handsome rooster. :love
