I’m so jealous. I absolutely adore chickens. And I’d love to own as many as I can take care of and meet all of their needs at the same time! Too bad I live in a city, and it’s illegal to own chickens:/
The most impressive thing here is they're leghorns. They're not affectionate little birds. Never had one that wasn't on death's door be friendly. High strung skittish little birds.
Hahahaha I laughed straight away when you opened the door and they were ready and waiting! 😂 So cute man. That's the currency of exchange for giving them backrubs ❤
Just like my cows - they’re all scratched and made a fuss of, right from birth. They’re named and recognise they’re named when called. They all have their own distinctive “moo” as well. Pit the effort in to being kind and petting animals and they’ll show you so much love. I love my cows - they’re like big puppies and watching these hens enjoy their petting is something I love to see.
I think these are leghorns. I had two girls like them and they were the most easy going ladies ever. No stress or drama. Even just popped an egg out in the middle of the lawn and carried on pecking 😅.
plant some fruit bushes for them. Mulberry, black berry, Grape vine, cherry and other stone fruit that produce lot of fruit so the chickens can enjoy as well as you. And you can keep them 2 ft height by regular pruning and chop & drop. Just a couple of them would be cool. Nice backyard you got.
No roosters. They are white leghorn hens. The big head wattles are there because they are from the Mediterranean sea region and in South Asia - India, Pakistan to have better heat exchange and cool down quickly. They are common Bird for keeping at homes as the egg production is pretty high.
