Backyard Chickens!

You need some bantams!

I remember one of my first big lies to an adult when I was probably about 6 years old. We were visiting my great uncle, who had chickens with chicks running around and I desperately wanted to hold one of those fuzzy little things. The adults were inside, so I found the chicken feed and made a little trail into the enclosed porch on the house. The chicks followed it, I tried to catch one, and squawking and hilarity ensued. The adults came out--"what's going on here!?!?!" And I said "nothing."

Didn't even catch one.

 

Maybe bantams at a later time. They are so tiny! I'd have to build another coop and run.

 

Found them!!

 

Are these just for eggs or meat too?

 

The chickens are just egg layers. I suppose when they stop laying we'll eat them. Or they will just become yard birds.
