Bumgardner Farm: Chickens: Our Little Buddy

It seems like one animal always stands out in your mind because of it's personality. Spot will be the one chicks that stands out to us.

Spot

He loves to be petted. I've never seen a chicken like that. The others are terrified. However, Spot will walk right up to us. He lifts his head and pokes his chest out expecting you to pet him. He's a sucker for being rubbed on his chest. Yesterday, he kept looking at my ring as if I'd brought him something exciting, even tried to eat it. I never remembered so much entertainment from our chickens growing up. Except for the time they chased my cousin around trying to attack her. Or maybe that was their way of playing. I'm really enjoying being a chicken farmer. Yes, we only have seven but I could seriously see us having 100. The only downside I see, is the smell. Although, imagine how nice our garden and yard would be if we had that many!

Here are just a few new photos of the chicks. They are finally starting to explore their new home and they seem to like it pretty well!
