My friend had gotten a bunch of different ornamental chickens back a few months ago and they have grown a lot. They are all healthy, very beautiful and colorful.
There are 18 total all in the same pin and house.
He is raising them more like pets, all of them like to be held.
Have a Great Weekend!

Oh my gosh–you know this is what I want–especially that pretty gold and black one!!!!!
They are really beautiful I like the gold and black but also the totally gray one, his feet are covered with his feathers! 🙂 My friend got them from Travelers Rest Feed & Seed back in May.
they are pretty!
and a lot of fun to feed and watch 🙂
We have 12 Heritage breed chickens and 5 fancies. They are cute. 🙂
Hi Judy, I love the fancy chickens! You don’t see the Heritage breed very often! 🙂
I’ve never heard of keeping chickens as pets. Around here they’re invited to the table. Usually on Sunday afternoon.
Either way, love fried chicken on Sunday!!
Oh my gosh! they’re just adorable. Who knew you could fall in love with chickens?
They are pretty cool! 🙂
Those are the most beautiful chickens I have ever seen!
Hi Suzanne, the fancy chickens are very beautiful and a lot different 🙂
Those chickens are really pretty. When I had chickens I wanted big ones that gave big eggs. 🙂 They also gave lots of great poo for the veggie garden and chewed up the compost quite well too.
I like the double yoke eggs which are very large and great to cook with. All the poo goes into the compost that lands in the garden, everything gets recycled!
The black and gold chickens are really pretty.
Oh lovely! My parents gave been keeping chickens for over 30 years now and they too like to be *cuddled*. They have a great life. We have the white one on the pic in black and we keep the same grey ones, as far as I can see 😀
Thanks!
the are beautiful and a lot of fun These are too young yet to lay eggs but I bet you have a lot of egg everyday! 🙂
Maybe you buy a pair of such hens, Michael 🙂
Greets 🙂
I heard chickens were mean. 🙂 First time I heard of them being a pet.
I have had mean roosters but never mean hens, they are generally calm but it also depends on the environment they are raised in. 🙂
