The chickens...

This is Sunny, this chicken has the most personality of the three standards sized. Sunny actually started out the smallest of the three and has since gone and caught up--and taken on the more "roosterly" role and squares of with our dog when he nears the fence. Sunny jumps to grab what's in your hands...as he is very impatient...but I have to admit I love this chicken he's got as much personality as a dog or cat!

This is Sunny...with Rocky in the background and Delilah in the way back. Rocky was originally the most aggressive of the chicks. He would knock the others out of his/her way...thus the name Rocky. If it is determined later he is a hen I will rename him Roxy~but for now he remains Rocky.

Little Red and Daisy...with Delilah's rear end in the corner. Little Daisy, after some investigation is a Belgian Bearded d'Uccle. With a fuzzy face and some lovely shoes! She's quite unusual...and not what most people think of when they think "chicken"...she's adorable though. Maybe I can post a close up of her fat face later.

Little Red again (named for the red head she sported when she was just a chick...she has since grown some lovely back head feathers) Little Red is the first of the chickens to crow...which is leading me to believe she is a rooster. Either way she's quite attractive~but not as friendly as I would like her/him to be.

This is Delilah, she's a little more shy than the other two standards...and I am pretty sure is a Rooster at this point...but wont know for sure for about 4 more months. Delilah has been known to crow periodically...although I swear she's just complaining that she's hungry. She does not demonstrate the "ideal" characteristics of a rooster, but has thin pin feathers around her neck which is standard to a rooster. More to come on her/his sex later.

Anyway, we made the quick decision to buy the chickens for the purpose of someday having eggs....at the rate we are going I think we may end up with 5 roosters. Call it luck, call it karma. Either way, I have to admit chickens are way more interesting than i would have imagined... and if they didn't smell so bad, I would probably let them live in the house..>LOL....ok, that's a joke but they are very fun to watch.
