Forgive me if there is already another thread like this but I searched and didn't see anything...

We got chickens again this summer after a break of a few years. My kids are old enough that this is completely their project now. So I feel like a grandma with cute pictures of my grandkids that I want to show everyone.

So you all get to suffer, I mean, enjoy...

I was going to post more but realized that a lot of them were fuzzy so I had to go take more pictures today.

My son has been training them to sit on his shoulder. Unfortunately that backfired a couple days ago when one tried to sit on his head and then had a huge wet messy poop on his hair.

I just love your birds! Very adorable!
I make sure to wear a hat whenever I'm outside with the birds. There's no telling when one will sit on your head .... Learning experience, but they never stick around for pictures!

I hope your pirate chickens train up well! How much fun that would be!

I'm afraid that I mostly have boring chickens, but chicks do brighten my day...

This was from the first chicks "I" ever hatched with a mother hen. One was peaking out from under mommy to say hello, and the other was going for a ride.

They kept fire breathing monkeys as pets! This tiny ad told me so!
Switching from electric heat to a rocket mass heater reduces your carbon footprint as much as parking 7 cars
