While I don't have chickens, I have always liked them. Friends of mine had a few and I had a ball going to their nests to collect eggs.
Not too far away from me are homes that have chickens. Sometimes, when driving down that street, I see roosters and hens foraging free and sometimes crossing the road. They never cease to make me smile! Saw one rooster that was magnificent! Such a healthy looking guy with beautiful feathers! Thank goodness that street is not heavily traveled!! Have enjoyed your stories and I'm sure there are MANY more! Love, Hugs and Scritches to ALL Shi

That's the thing about chickens, they're so funny and fun to be around. Whether they're a stubborn hen, or a silly hen, or just a very busy hen, they can always make you laugh.

I got a Cheeee-Kin..!Lol...
Well..went to the Feed store to get Pigeon Seeds, and paused to admire all the young Chickens they had for sale...and...well... She's about the size of a month old Squab...but with bigger Feet and heftier Legs of course... So far, all the Pigeons are afraid of her, so she has been walking around wondering how she went from being a soft, innocent, Baby Chicken one minute, to being such an intimidating fearsome Creature, the next..! I did not realize how 'Sturdy' she looked till I got down on the floor to take this image...this is one pretty sturdy little Theropod...! Phil l v

Phil, you always make me smile and I'm grinning now from ear to ear.
What a sweet baby and you will love her to pieces! Some of my best memories involve chickens. I have probably mentioned this before but growing up, my mother had a chicken coop with a bunch of hens and one old rooster. I loved every one of them but the rooster felt it was his duty to chase me almost every day. What a character. I loved to go in the hen house to check for eggs. The mama hens would fuss when I reached under them but it was warm and soft and felt good to me. There was even something comforting about the "aroma" of the hen house. One of the babies that hatched was crippled and blind and my dad built a large pen for "Trudy". She could eat on her own and was a joy to be around. She is one of the pets I will never forget. Another chicken story. My Mother had a chicken who lived in the house with us and she loved that chicken so much. We went on vacation to Georgia and Mother asked a neighbor to take care of her. Would you believe that woman killed that chicken and ate it. It was a despicable thing to do. We never dreamed she would do something like that.

Well...
She IS aking frequent plaintive chirpings or 'peepings' and I suspect she IS realizing that there are no other Chickens here. So...should I go and get a second one then, of the same age, for her to have a Pal??? I just kinda took for granted she would find social satisfactions with the various Pigeons...but, maybe not? Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, my...what am I getting myself into??? Lol... Phil l v
