Day 354 Gotta Love Those Chickens
Monday, December 20 – Just went to the chicken house to check on the water. It froze in the waterer last night and I had to chop ice this morning. All was well this afternoon though. It is pretty cozy in there actually. Just had to get some chicken shots. They are such characters. I found out fast that macro was not an option. They reach up and grab my hair if I get too close. I am including a couple shot of two of the roosters (I have 3). The golden one is a Buff Orpington and I have another one of them. The black one is an exotic mystery breed chicken. Guess I will have to get a book to figure out what breed he is. I have a little exotic breed hen that sort of matches him. He is my crowing rooster and is very loud. The hen is a Barred Rock and I have 8 of them. They are really nice chickens and good layers. I have 5 of the Buff Orpington hens too. I love chickens and it is so nice to have my chicken coop full again.

These are great shots. I laughed out loud that they grab your hair if you get too close. Rick wants chickens at some point too. Which breed is your favorite?
