hello yes chickens are cool and i love them

please take picks omg

 

Of the floofed broodies?

ETA: The chickens don't get out of the run very often, and they aren't always chased by the dog when they are, and there's only been one instance of chickens chasing the dog.

 

yus, I love angry broody hens so much!

 

They had stopped doing the thing and just all were standing under a tree preening and 'brook brook'-ing at each other :(

 

All of the them, not just the 3 that had been in the henhouse. The one that had been brooding by the outside of the glasshouse was there too (she has a bucket on her nest and all the eggs removed-she was sitting on like...10 rotten eggs and 2 smashed eggshells).

 

Oh ugh. Girly no, those weren't gonna hatch XP

I'm still pondering whether I'm going to let any of my girls set eggs if they go broody. I've got a lovely roo but all the babies would be mixed breeds save the wyandottes.

 

Oh god I'm so glad this thread exists! I live in a small town in CA that has a ton of wild roosters that just have the run of the place. The locals love them, most anything town-branded has a rooster on it somewhere, and there's even an annual Chicken Festival celebrating the feathery goofballs. I'm super excited to have some breed names to go with some of the weirder ones I've seen running around.

 

There are A LOT of chicken breeds and I am no expert, but if you post pics I can try to identify!

 

At least she was sitting on actual eggs, and not an empty nest, another broody's foot, or a single plastic somewhat eggshaped thing.

 

Chickens are magic

 

Went out to feed and water everyone yesterday morning before work. Put the food down and there was a rush to it as usual, but Rose just hovered near my feet until I picked her up and gave her a cuddle. Read somewhere that welsummers are supposed to be standoffish, but my Rosie is the sweetest thing in the flock. To me, anyway. She's chicken boss lady to everyone else.

Remind me to tell you all the story of Zebanon first attempting to mount Rose, because it is hilarious.

 

I feel like at least someone who likes chickens here might appreciate knowing that there is a game where you save a world of sapient magical chickens from crows trying to steal a wish from a magical chicken egg. That is giant. And legendary.

they will make your dreams come true the magical chicken charm of going cockdoodledoo

koo koo koo koo doo doo ruu

 

i love chickens and i am crying because i love chickens they are so perfect and amazing

they're just so anxious and poofy and they purr and like to eat and fight all the things

especially if they are the bantams we used to keep when i was a kid
bantams are tiny honey badger chickens that will fite everything.

also here some friends have araucanas and bring colorful eggs to gaming for people

 

i want to love a tiny honey badger with feathers

 

All birds were raptors once.

Chickens, in particular, have not forgotten this.

 

okay, so: these guys aren't chickens but omg??? i periodically remember that button quail exist and everyone else must know too.

 

a handful of fluffy children!
