Is this normal???
Had enough of roosters harassing my sweet Esmé so I made her a battle jacket for under $38
Apparently, chickens make great shoulder buddies 😂🐔
why do my chickens do this when i pet them?
Like mother like daughter
One of my hens has two different colored eyes
It's a baby
New Rule: yell at me and I will scoop you up for a selfie.
All chickens are safe in the run, but found this guy entirely inside the coop before scaring him off. Undeterred by electric fence.
From up there, they can judge your gardening skills, mock the ducks, and still keep one eye on the feed bucket.
