ooh, I used to have chickens! I had many in the past, most of them decided to stay at my neighbour's houses and some of them were hunted. But from having them for so long, I know a lot about them! do you have pictures of your lil chickos?

I love chickens, too! I have about fifty of them free/ranging on our farm. I like your chickens’ names 😊. Here’s a picture of Tundra, a bantam rooster hatched and raised on our farm. 🙂

I'm tempted to get a few chickens but I would probably feel sorry for them in the winter and bring them indoors. Last thing I need is chickens running around my little house! The really are so darn cute!

Our chickens did perfect last year in the freezing cold and the only thing they didn't like was their first year with snow chicken nuggets(cold feet)

It’s okay 😅. By the way, I love Barred Rocks! I have two of them, three Rhode Island Reds, and a bunch of Easter Eggers ( similar to Olive Eggers). Those are all great breeds of chickens!

Oh, I just LOVE chickens! Hoomans just think their… food. BUT ( always that but) if you had/have chickens for a long time, you can find them….. intelligent! Not lying! I had a chicken, sweet potato, I called her that because she loves to eat them. (And I’m not that good at names)
Pics:

When she was about 3 months old

Her first egg ❤️

Adult

Once my dog walked over to the chicken coop and Fruity[Rip fruity] walked over and pecked his eye(he's was ok) and they were only 1 months old

Yes! Chickens really aren’t so dumb! Of course, like with any animal, the more time and effort you put into them the “ smarter” they become! I had a hen named Cookie that I started training as a chick and she knew how to shake hands and come when called. I could even lure her along a little obstacle course.

Thank you! Her name is Scrambles. She's such a funny little chicken. She screams as loud (if not louder) than the roosters, and when she and my other bantams still had access to the bigger chickens (I've since sectioned off their part of the yard) she liked to pick fights with the bigger chickens. She has challenged the big rooster (who's about 10X her size) to fights. 😂

😂 bantams in general seem to have about 10x the personality of big chickens! 😂
