You know you love your chickens when...

Yep!

Love this idea! I am going to buy pops on the way home!

Oh happy day! Hanging with the girls!

Those are the best moments! Especially when they climb on you on their own. Love the little black one with the white spot. Black Australorp? I have Biel Silver Wyandottes that look like that.

I have no clue what they are, except the two with hair on their feet (light brahmas) and the one without hair on the neck (Turken)...brown egg assortment from McMurry Hatchery. ;-)

@16 paws , how is Chicken Little doing?

Chicken Little has moved to her own little coop and run. I still have one of her sisters in there with her to keep her company. She is learning to use a ramp to get up and down from the coop! That is going great. She is so happy in her new location and I am able to interact with her more because she is close to the water station and I am there a lot! These chickens, all 60 of them drink a lot of water in the summer

Here she is

Yay for CL! That is amazing that she is learning to use a ramp.

Thanks Ballerina Bird,
Yes she really is amazing. I am so happy with her progress.

I make a little chirp chirp sound to her when I approach and she lifts her head up like she is looking for me. Its really cute.

I pick her up so she receives that sense of touch. I think that is important.

It's really wonderful that she lets you pick her up -- I imagine it could be scary for a chicken who can't see to be scooped up. She must really trust you.

She's so big! So happy you can accommodate her special needs. I have a young bird with a physical/neurological handicap that I make special allowances for too.

Yes it was scary at first, that is why I started making the chirp sound, that way she knows it is just me coming to "bug" her again. Lol

We just lost our Light Brahma to an illness in May. She was the sweetest thing. Can't wait to see what they turn into!
