[Grandma The Chicken]

Grandma. She's the mascot of my family (sort of) and she's very special because she is the oldest. She's turning 7 this year and she is brown Plymouth Rock. I have dozens of photos of her, but here's one that suits the most.

She sure gets into trouble, doesn't she.

She sure gets into trouble, doesn't she.

Somewhat. She cries whenever she's in the house for too long. She also loves communicating but every time I talk to her or say "hi", she just looks at me but when I'm talking to someone who is in the same room as me, she'll always find the courage to talk over me.

 

[Shabby Chic-Hens]

How many entries can we post? I can’t find if I can have one or more.

 

[ChickyWhicky]

This is Gris, my sapphire gem. She is a big talker & loves attention. She is first to greet me and will follow me everywhere I go. She is a real sweetheart and will often come cozy up next to me.

 

[Shabby Chic-Hens]

This is Odile. She was my lap hen, comforting me when some of my chickens died, and later doing the same when my grandma passed. Last year, Odile died at age 6. She will always be remembered in my family.

 

[JacinLarkwell]

This is Westeros (Wes for short), a large fowl Pheonix.
We think he is at least 8, possibly 9
We got him and his original gals from a 4H family that was getting out of small animals 4 years ago.

 

[JacinLarkwell]

This is Ambrose, my mixed flock Flockmaster. He's going to be 10 this spring, and has a son now that mainly runs the flock now. His mother is a bantam cochin that we still have in our flock and his father was a a standard Ameraucana.
