This is Kraai, my rescue chicken I got from a girl who couldn’t keep her. She was alone for a few months after her sister died.
She is a Dutch bantam and behaves a bit bossy and peculiar.

She looks like a girl who knows what she wants. Her colors are stunning.

This is Ledo, a 3 year old sapphire gem rooster. Many may argue that he has a mean look in his eye, but Ledo can't even form a mean thought in that little brain of his. The only thing that he dislikes in this world is his arch enemy, Benny, who steals his girls. Ledo has the most gentlest soul and loves his girls with all his heart. He likes his humans, too, and will gently preen your hair when he hops up on your back. He has had many children, all who take after their dad with their sweet demeanor. I love him so very much and I pray that he lives a joyful life for many more years to come.

I think he looks like a gentle soul.

this is Percy he is our prettiest boy, he might be not that great of a rooster, at the bottom of ever pecking order known to man, and bullied even by his sisters but i love him nonetheless

I think he looks like a gentle soul.

Thank you

This is an old photo of Ini Mini, my oldest and most talkative girl. Hatched in 2014. Not laying eggs anymore but still going strong. She’s a sweetie and an excellent mother of many chicks.

Wait 2014, and she still alive??? 12 years?!

Wait 2014, and she still alive??? 12 years?!

Yes! She is getting 12 this May, and really getting an old lady old now.

My flock today, with Ini mini at the bottom, left. Who can find all 8?
