One of my wonderful friends had two chickens (one hen and one rooster) that needed to be re-homed.
We already had nine (or so) red hens and one red rooster so I figured they would fit in well!
It is so nice to walk out to the chicken coop and get some fresh eggs for breakfast!
Now when we first added these two new chickens the rooster had what you would call "little man" syndrome! He would attack the red rooster (who might I add is twice the size of this guy) for no reason. It was quite comical to watch! The big red rooster would just walk away and occasionally "smack" this little guy on the top of the head as if to say "Bug off!" These new additions to the flock were quite the sight to look at! They make me giggle every time I see them! You see, they don't look like your average chicken... They have a tuft of white feathers on their heads, down their legs and have black skin. Unlike the red hens who are your "normal" looking chicken.
Rhya is in LOVE with these chickens! Whenever we are outside she points to the coop and says chi chi, thats chicken if you don't know how to fluently speak Rhya! She enjoys gathering the eggs, feeding them crackers and just observing their every move. She also enjoys the other animals as well. This child has NO fear! I don't know if it is a good this or bad... I guess we will find out!
Here are a few photos to enjoy!
