I'm responding to enter the contest. My chicken's names from left to right are Roxie, Brilla, and Farah. They pull on my coat every day, anxious for their treats. Farah got merick's disease and survived it. She is very close and follows me everywhere since I took good care to help her.

 

[Chicken_Obsesser]

What kind of chicken is Farah? She almost looks like a Speckled Sussex EE cross.

Judith- I'm surprised her mouth is closed in this pic, she is always talking trash! Blue

 

[Chicken_Obsesser]

She's so pretty!!
