Heap Of Chickens
Oct 9th 2008RuralWriterFarm Critters
The young chickens seem to congregrate together, while the older ones go off and do their own thing.
Here’s a bunch of our younger crew I caught in a heap on top of a lumber pile. They’re a mix of Buff Orpington, Polish Silver Laced, and Sicilian Buttercup. It always amazes me we ended up with so many white chickens in this generation, when none of the foundation flock was white.
A real motley crew!
