I have those three chickens growing in my garden. The lacy wyandot my boys named Chuck is a very pretty bird and the favorite of the Rhode Island Red Rooster that the boys named Angelica. I have taken to calling him George now though. So much for a batch of sexed chicks.
My neighbor’s chicken’s come and visit every day, they love scratching around our horse yard. A few months ago, one of their chickens was being broody and my neighbor did not know what was wrong with her. I told her that chicken wanted to be a momma real bad and my neighbor could relate to that. They have no rooster, but we have a pair of Black Indian Runner ducks and our duck is not broody at all. I gave her some eggs for her chicken to sit on and one hatched. She is the happiest hen, a beautiful golden aracuna (spelling?) with her black duckling.
I enjoy all the pictures of your animals and their “antics”.
Suzannes right…chickens are such an easy animal to raise and OH SO FUN to watch..plus you get paid in eggs for their entertainment and fertilizer for the garden! :hungry2:
