My new chick

[Chinque]

I GOT A CHICKEN!!! Anyone who has read my profile or some of my threads knows that I'm very passionate about animals and how much I love them, so you can just imagine how excited I was to get her! her name is Pepper (like chilies, not the spice), since she is a Rhode Island Red and I'm assuming she is about three weeks old. She is really friendly and always follows me around the yard when I take her out and when I'm watching tv and petting her she tries to climb in my hair... So cute! I never knew chickens could be this sweet and friendly! Any tips on how to win poultry contests? I'm thinking in entering her in the fair once she gets older!

I can't believe you did not post a pic. No more about her without posting pics please

I would have, but I'm on the website from my ipad right now because my computer isn't working and with the new app update I can't figure out how to post pictures on it! I like the website much better than the app!

When our rooster was a chick he would also hop up on our shoulders and play in our hair! Too cute! I would love to see a picture of yours!

Here he is grown up

Beautiful coloring! What type is he? I love his feathery feet! My dad wanted to get one that will grow up to have feet like that!

Here we go! I figured it out!
I hope you like her!

Yours is very pretty! Mine is a Bantam Brahma.

The baby is adorable. The larger ones are very nice too. I had chickens when I was younger that had feathers on their feet also. They were Bantam something. Mine were mostly white though. I love chickens. Heck, there isn't an animal I don't like or wouldn't have

Very nice! She's a Rhode Island Red, not a red star.... Close, though!

My son has a bunch of hens, three different kinds, I think, and one rooster.He gets loads of eggs every morning, and I'm always telling him to leave some so they hatch. Those little chicks are so cute. I think one kind is called a Jersey giant. It has no feathers on it's head or neck and looks like a vulture.

 

[Chinque]

Beautiful! I think I saw some of those at the fair today

Very nice! I hope to get that many one day (except the rooster, I do not enjoy very loud animals. Why do you think I got a tortoise?)
