Where did they come from???

Pics
Good for you for saving those chickens! :D

King is a speckled sussex mix cockerel
Bashful and Beauty are red sex link pullets
Mocha looks like a mixed pullet, maybe with orpington
Fancy looks like a mized breed pullet

Hope this helps :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've been searching to try a figure out what they are but so many look the same....at least to me. lol
Do you happen to know why all the others seem to pick on Bashful?
 
And for sure we double dog dare you to feed live mealworms from your mouth as a proper initiation to the "Crazy CkickenLady Club" pictures accepted videos prefered!
You must have chickens who will eat treats from your mouth, it's manditory! ;) (this is why the news keeps blaming us for salmonella out breaks, LOL)

She might be just the low one on the totem pole.

They might be hard on her for a day or two because she was away from them for a day or so.
This is where a badminton racket comes in handy.
I know it's normal pecking order behavior. It if it gets out of hand I practice some gentle "backhand". :confused:
What can I say, I hate bullies.
 
True story...I put those rascals in my lips as I get my hook ready while fishing. As for the chickens taking it from my mouth...lol...I have a ginormous Chocolate Lab that eats lunchmeat from my mouth. Lol. I'm just an all around crazy animal person.:eek:
Well Chocolate Labs eat anything, mine waits until we are asleep then checks out countertops for the compostables, trash for empty bags of foodstuffs, eats the 2 of the 5 grain scratch mix that the chicken don't want, loves chicken poop, and knocks over the outdoor compost bin for tasty scraps that gives her horrible bloat and gas. So I am curious how a breed with a gentle mouth for bringing back shot up fowl taking lunchmeat from a human mouth is an accomplishment as I know my lab could be trained in under 5 seconds to do that trick! hehe just ribbing you a teensy bit:plbb.:lau

Yeah, the lab is a 4-legged garbage disposal. He snatches full boxes of donuts...eats the box and all...in 2.2 seconds. lol But...he's not a ravenous beast when taking food from my mouth. He's in slow motion...and gentle. :)
 
Mine sleeps on my head... :hmm
We are fortunate in that only 1 of 3 dogs insist they are bed dogs, and its our sweet little pittie mix Cookie(think oreo's with an adorable black spotted snout, it is artwork) we foster failed with her. The only command she really knows is "No!" but that command works for everything as she runs to your feet sits on them and begs forgiveness in any situation. She is still a hot mess after 2 years and you can throw her out of the bed for hours on end and she will still hop right back up instantly. Of course "no" only makes her neediness worse so we have just come to accept this is just how Cookie is and we are going to live with sore backs for the rest of our lives as she is a leg and foot snuggler.

Watch her. If they draw blood, they will not stop until she is probably dead. I got rid of 3 because they were bullying.
