Our Chickens now (I still call them chickies...)

We've had chickens for a couple years now and getting pictures of them is kinda tricky.  If they are out and about they are hard to catch cause they don't stop moving.  If they are in the chicken run they come really close up to me, too close for a picture.  So here's what I got.  At least it gives an idea of what they look like. Chickens really are a lot more fun than I realized they would be.  They are curious, talkative, a little skittish but friendly, and they love to be fed treats (mainly any bread item available).  Oh and they love to dig in dirt...had no idea about that so my flower beds get little chicken nests in them once in a while or just dirt flung out of them everywhere.

This is our Silver Laced Wyandotte.  

This is one of the Black Australorps and Rhode Island Red Chickens.  We also have White Orpingtons.

This is an Aeraucana Chicken.  We call her "Poof"  Don't you just love the litte fluffy face?!  We didn't know that's what they would look like.  I love it!

Another Aeraucana.

This is our Bantam hen her name is "Snow".  She is much smaller than the other chickens and has the cute fluffy feet.  Her eggs are much smaller too, they are so cute.

This is one of our Bantam roosters.  When we got the Bantams as chicks we didn't know if they were male or female.  Just the luck of the draw.  This little guy, and he really is little, is feisty but friendly. His crow is pretty funny.  It doesn't quite go all the way, he has half a crow. 

Here's our other Bantam rooster and he is beautiful.  He's really mellow and has a pretty crow actually.


Sometimes I wonder if it's worth the work to have chickens when it's probably cheaper to just buy eggs at the store, but really it is worth it.  They are our pets and we enjoy them.
