The hen is really pretty! Do you have other chickens or is she the only one?

I have 11 in all....this is Trixie and one of the twins eating watermelon.

Oh such pretty birds. I just love chickens. I would have them if it were legal here. So I enjoying seeing pictures of everyone elses hens.

too cool

And they eat bugs! And garden waste!

Chickens, chickens. More chickens!

There not legal here Rita but I have them

I would never get away with it. I know one of the neighbors would rat me out.

That stinks Rita. I am so far from the city I'm practically out of it
It was legal for a long time but do to cock fighting in the inner city the had to make it illegal and used health hazards as a reason so that messed it up for people with large yards that could handle a small flock.
My neighbors are great...I supply the eggs...we have a pretty good size yard too so really not a problem for me. I don't have a rooster so unless come up my actual drive and go in the back you would never know they were there.

Neighbors too close here and too many of them. Wish I was more rural.

yeah the rooster would be a dead giveaway ... cool that you can swing it Ronnie

Dallas doesn't permit roosters for the same reason, Ronnie, but you can have a certain number of hens.

My neighbors in back have a flock of hens, a horse, 3 pigs, & I thought I heard a steer bawling the other day....there are arborvitae planted on the border, & I truly don't hear or smell the animals......

Suey is going to have a biopsy on her tonsil next Tues. I'm just a wreck about it.......

Suey

Oh no, I hope all goes well. I will keep you in my thoughts Marilyn

Mickey, looking for biscuits.

Mickey is so cute. Who could resist that furry face asking for biscuts?

When I had dogs I used to call the dog biscuits and treats cookies. So when I asked 'who wants cookies? ' both the people (for real cookies) and the dogs always showed up.
