What happened to your welsummer?

Lap chickens, , they leave behind surprises.

I still have my Wellie. The RSL was in my FL flock and they were all rehomed as a group when we moved to Wyoming.

This was the RSL I mentioned, Scotty (and she never left a surprise in my lap!):

1. Silkies my Silkie Rooster is so cute and the one in my avatar passed away a few weeks ago hands down the funniest bird right there
2. New Hampshire reds so friendly
I mean I have a pullet her name is Butterscotch but she is such a lovely bird
3. Plaitnum Sussex another pullet of mine stunning feathers I just love her to bits
4. Pekin Bantam well this is one of my hens Chloe she puts up such a Fight not to be held but then you get such a shock when she decides she wants to be held planning on breeding her
5. Isa Brown such a friendly fabulous breed all the hens have character and show their emotions I love them

Thank you. It sure surprised me. I just wondered how people just picked a few breeds, now I'm adding more to next year's order. I have a chicken addiction problem. They are fascinating creatures.

Silkies definitely are different, and interesting little birds.

I haven't heard of a platinum Sussex. I looked them up, and , are they ever gorgeous birds.

I agree completely, Could watch them forever doing there thing.. My problem is I don't have enough "Variety" in my "Flock" So every time I see a bird that catches my eye I just have to have it..

We would someday like to add to our Rooster-only flock. Which breeds so you think have the sweetest Roos?
Thanks!
P.s. my super healthy Cornish Cross boys are soooo affectionate and awesome!
