Chicken House Tenants

Chicken House Tenants

We have a wide variety of chickens, from solid and rather dull laying hens to those sporting pretty cool afro styles. They make us laugh!

Biscuit, a Buff Sebright rooster. He is very tame and friendly.

This is a white Crested Blue Polish hen.

This is a Buff Laced Polish- he hasn't earned a name yet.

Here is Soren, a tiny but fierce little Golden Sebright rooster.

Rosemary bought this pair, Zeus and Roxanne, last weekend. They are very fancy Mille Fleur Old English Game chickens.

Another photo of Zeus. He is very sweet natured and likes attention.

A funny Silver Sebright hen- I love the feather patterns.

And a golden Sebright hen.

A Golden Comet named Mrs. Lazenby. The Golden Comets are the best layers I have ever had.

Pearl is licking her chops just thinking about all the eggs!

Chicken House Tenants

Blue Cochin named Priscilla. She is very fluffy and fat and will sit on other hens' eggs hatch them and raise their babies. I once had a Cochin that sat on wild turkey eggs that a logger brought by the house in a hard hat. It was so funny to watch those huge turkey poults following that tiny little hen around.

Hard to believe that this adorable chick grew into....

THIS! He is a homely White Crested Blue Polish rooster named Blue Jim. He is neither tame nor friendly. We shall see if he is to remain.
