Chicken Profiles

Our chickens this winter, happily grazing the cover crop

Blandy the Blue Andalusian.  Blandy’s interests include flying, escaping, foraging in the woods, and returning when she’s good and ready.

The newest addition to our flock, Splotchy the tiny rooster!  We thought he was a hen when we found an anomalous tiny egg in the nesting box, but it turned out to be someone else’s when only three days later he starting crowing.  We love Splotchy.

Goldie, our Speckled Sussex.  Goldie is one of our all time favorite chickens.  Normally her interests would include buttons, eyeballs and high-pitched cooing noises, but right now she’s a broody zombie and is only interested in “setting.”

Buffy, one of four Buff Rocks.  Buffy looks great when she’s hanging out in her tree.

One of our Barred Rocks, some of the oldest and wisest hens in our flock.  This may or may not be the one that lets you pet her.
