I Don't Have Pet Chickens

But I do have a few that are special to me due to their personalities.  Those few have names.  The rest are either "the girls" or "chickas"  for my laying flock, or "turd birds" for the meat chickens (if you've ever raised  broilers, you'll understand).

This is one of the ones who has a name.  She was part of my 2011 order from McMurray, she is an Ameracauna and lays mint-green colored eggs.  She earned the right to a name because she is uncommonly friendly, will even fly up and attempt to sit on my shoulder when I'm out distributing feed or gathering eggs.



Her name is "Blue" because of her coloring.
