We have had all kinds of chickens as well as ducks and geese (also-cows, pigs, and goats!)<BR/><BR/> Those little banty chickens were always my favorites...and I liked having mixed chickens and being surprised at what might hatch out!! I liked having my chickens roam free....but after awhile it became too heartbreaking to have them taken by hawks and other animals. Once a hawk swooped down 3 feet in front of me and took a baby chick as I was feeding the hen and her babies! After that I didn't want to have any more.<BR/><BR/>I have written a lot of farm stories on my blog.<BR/><BR/><BR/>JunieJunieRose2005https://www.blogger.com/profile/10550860961892546101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-55989722128846632082007-08-14T09:29:00.000-05:002007-08-14T09:29:00.000-05:00I am amazed that they just fall asleep right where...I am amazed that they just fall asleep right where they are. I have never raised chickens, so I'm guessing that this is their normal behavior. How do they ever reach maturity? And once there, do they just take a nap wherever their sleepy butts drop?<BR/><BR/>These are very, very cute little chicks. I love that they follow Emma around. They're going to miss her when she's off to college.robin andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390482190562312928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-87624462205857912352007-08-14T09:02:00.000-05:002007-08-14T09:02:00.000-05:00cute cute cute! the photo of sleeping babes has a...cute cute cute! the photo of sleeping babes has an especially high cuteness factor.kathy a.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14479337952651746193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-36988560871750888682007-08-14T08:18:00.000-05:002007-08-14T08:18:00.000-05:00I sure wish I lived where I could have chickens. ...I sure wish I lived where I could have chickens.
