Favourites.

[Ribh]

Because I am curious...
Many of us seem to have a favourite bird whether we keep chickens or peahens, ducks or guinea fowl. How did your favourite end up being your favourite? And I'd love to see a pic!

Hepzibah is mine because when I got this batch of chickens she was the only one I was absolutely sure of identifying 100% of the time so she got more attention & was friendlier as a result.

I have two

Zues and Hercules

The two of them follow me everywhere.
I must look crazy, two dogs and two massive chickens following me around

Oh! They are just gorgeous!

My favourite is Mary. She has huge dark eyes and is very playful and sweet. This pose is classic Mary: she looks lovely, I hold up the camera and, surprise! she pranks me with a sudden move. Then she'll run off, chasing wild birds for the umpteenth time

Damn.... whatever his name, Zeus or Hercules, that first chicken in the pic has a name that fits. Look at that intimidating pose! Hahaha.

And how's that tail! Is it blue in real life?

My favorite is Chester. I found him abandoned in a parking lot and put him in my rooster flock. He follows me around, is easy to pick up, and will sometimes even fly onto my arm (when he's feeling generous ). Chester is an American gamefowl mix, which I suspect is part of the reason why he's so friendly, yet not at all aggressive.
