Me too, steemitpatina - 'crazy chicken lady' through and through :o) I'm not sure how many Steemers share our passion, but I'd be very happy to see photos of your feathered buddies :o)

Was it an unfortunate incident of the fox-related type? We've had a few of those in the 2 years I've been looking after our chucks...

We are currently human companions to:

7 Warren (ex battery) hens
2 Orpington hens
1 Lincolnshire Buff cock (the geriatric patriarch of the flock)
1 Welsummer hen
1 Exchequer Leghorn hen
1 brown Leghorn hen
2 Copper Blue Marans hens
1 Rhode Island Red cockerel
1 Bantam Wyandotte hen
2 Black Silkie hens
2 Mille Fleur Frizzle Pekin Bantam hens
1 Mille Fleur Frizzle Pekin cockerel
1 Silver Blue Brahma cockerel
4 Dark Brahma hens
1 Silver Blue Brahma broiler (Sunny)
2 Brahmarans (Brahma x Marans) broilers
4 very cute Brahma chicks

I hope I haven't forgotten anyone - that would be unforgiveable! ;o)
