LOVE the November chicken litter. I got them all and have a few extras if anyone missed an outcome.

I love it when they have realistic chicken breeds/colors, personally. I'm no fun ik but I loved those silkies and polish that came out a while ago!

So true! It is what brought me to CS I saw one of the cats on a friends page, and then was SO excited when I was able to get
Pet's name: Captain Cool at the pound. So much like my "Brahma" at home - that I gave the img a mouse as "Big Boy" will not only steal the cat's food but their toys as well!

Hey guys, unfortunately one of our chickens died, mwaning that the poor lonely soul called wilma is in the coop by herself. We are just in the process of rehoming her, as we know she cant be here on her own. We've had quite a few chickens over the years but nost of them weren't exactly "planned"

So now we are getting new ones this spring and im wondering, im looking for a unique chicken breed ( one that you look at and ask " what the heck is that?" ) while still being extremely friendly and tame. I would love some of your guys's opinions!

Silkies fit that bill. So do Cochins. It depends on your preferences, and what you have in your area if you can find any of the rarer breeds but Sultans are lovely, Serama are some of the coolest out there (but super expensive most of the time) and so tiny! One of my house boys is a serama and he's darling

Why are you joining: I love CHICKENS
Favorite poultry bird: CHICKENS
Other: We had 4 chickens that I cared for and I loved them and I could carry them around and they would follow you and... and ahh I miss them (fox got to two of them, the other two died of old age)


also I really like the way rooster look... I know a small farmer guy and sometimes I just stare at his roosters... they are just so pretty!! Even though they are not always so nice....

I HAVE A QUESTION

so I plan on getting chickens in the future. Not in the near future but after I'm out of college. I want a couple of hens, as pets mainly but I want a good bit of eggs too! Any breeds you recommend?
I had two rhodesian reds on barred rock and a little wild looking hen with a tail like a rooster (I am just guessing as at the time my parents had a house-mate person thing and he found some chicks at a flea market and felt bad for them)
