They are cutie-patooties.<br /><br />The sex links and the R.I . Reds have always been good layers.<br /><br />Maybe you can go in with some friends on a chicken order and get a larger variety of chickens.<br /><br />I really want to try to have some blue andalusian chickens next time around... I'm not 100% certain that they can survive our extreme winters.<br />We have friends near by that have one, and it seems to thrive .. so we'll see :)<br /><br />Have a great weekend!Kerinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05416650902627197826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858098726470985070.post-73235804112543781052012-04-19T21:03:19.989-07:002012-04-19T21:03:19.989-07:00My neighbors across the street have chickens and i...My neighbors across the street have chickens and it's funny to hear them talk about them like they were definitely pets, how friendly they are, how they like to sit on their laps. They just purchased some new babies, so I must get over and take some pics before they get too big.Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10857633931690620336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858098726470985070.post-39589298420282793812012-04-19T18:48:51.533-07:002012-04-19T18:48:51.533-07:00I agree Berte.

Eggs are good to have around all year long too. Is your chicken dry spell a long or short one? My chicken dry spell lasted 20 years.Snookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16182676159290565706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858098726470985070.post-51464425820358358142012-04-19T18:45:18.077-07:002012-04-19T18:45:18.077-07:00You know that's funny.

Hoping for better luck with this group of girls.

The sex links lay all winter, the Buffs are big and fluffy, the Faverolles are the sweetest and some others are just plain pretty and fun to watch.<br />BerteTxFarmhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15940044132186476270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858098726470985070.post-81225147013678294802012-04-19T04:42:54.583-07:002012-04-19T04:42:54.583-07:00You know, oddly enough, the chickens we've had...You know, oddly enough, the chickens we've had the most luck with are boring ol' Rhode Island Reds. They're friendly and productive as layers. We got Buff Oprhingtons because we heard they were so friendly...I think ours missed that part of the chicken book because they're about the snootiest things I've ever seen. I guess every chicken is different. Maybe our Buffs just didn't want to "Be like everyone else" ? ;)Amy Dingmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955555538158746355noreply@blogger.com
