wow, they're so pretty, especially that big black one w/the green feathers! I'm really enjoying keeping chickens. Not half as fun as my canaries, but a LOT cheaper & lot less a mess to clean.. not to mention I get to eat them! Well, I suppose I could have eaten my canaries, too, but that'd be more like a saltine cracker snack rather than dinner. Not to mention I'm not too broken up if one of my cats happens to eat a chick versus them killing a canary. I only lost 2 chicks this year, and that's 100% my fault.
