Chickens are so great.  The little cute, warm and fuzzy babies and the hens with their little secrets and the roosters with their mental issues.   Now that summer is over surely there are some chicken photos to share?

AWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! Soooo cute!
We raised chickens when I was a kid and I can remember them outside strutting their stuff, and the eggs they gave were wonderful! Smiley

Sweet! Great photos! Chickens are really growing on me. I spent a couple of hours watching my new ladies dig around the yard, a strange combination of wobbly running and graceful preening.

I was almost afraid to open this thread after the chicken breeding thread!  Grin

Lovely, zig. There's something comforting about chickens, even if I can't catch a blankety blank rooster who is running loose and keeps trying to attack me. He needs to be chicken soup.  Angry

I like this one the best, the way the chicken on the left has its toes spread out  Cheesy

He's a bantam cross so he has to try harder to compete with that bigger rooster.  Plus they both have that hen watching so they are giving it their best.  It deteriorated into an outright brawl I had to throw something at them to break it up.

That is a nice rooster.  I don't have any near that big.  I mostly have a barred rock/slakenvelder/americanua hodgepodge.  I don't think I would win any selectrive breeding awards. 

My original plan that never really took off was to make a red,white and blue chicken.   Breed Slakenvelders (sp?) with their nice black head and tail and white body with andulusians to make that black become blue/grey somehow and then of course the red comb.   Smiley   But then I couldn't find any andulusians and after they cranked out a batch of random chicks I had to cull my slakenvelders because I had never had roosters so vicious as they were.

My rooster is a big black standard Cochin, he's crazy!
LOL
I'll have to take some pics when the camera gets feeling better.
He's pretty but will jump on you just because he feels like it!

Absolutely! Compare the length of his toes to my fingers! When I carry him around, I let him wrap his toes around my finger and he holds on. The bottom of his foot is a big soft fleshy pad which is such a strange contrast to the length of those claws! After seeing the raptors in Jurassic Park, watching the chicken's movements gives me an eerie feeling.

I saw a show on the science channel once where they have decided to reverse engineer a chicken instead of trying to start with dino dna. They have managed to grow a chicken with teeth, and also added its long tale back on, and I mean one without feathers!  creepy!

Pamela I had a black silkie roo that was a sweetie, didn't crow, but I've never raised cochins. I'd love to see a photo!

I shot this the other day when the girls got loose and followed me around the yard. I walked in the house and they tried to follow me! So I thought it would make a funny halloween picture. Very small children in chicken costumes, standing outside my door!  Grin

Buckeye, silver lace Wyandotte, and an auracana. About 14 weeks old here.


Amber links. Very sweet.


Auracana. Some of them are "bearded ladies"!


Buck and a Golden comet. He is a good rooster, but mean as hell.


Various chickies.


Another nice shot of Buck. He spurs Hub one more time HUB might be taking a real nice shot at Buck . . .
