Stalker!

              The funniest thing to watch is to see Shasta follow Pebbles around the yard!  They do not do it because they are aggressive, it is just that Shasta is on the lowest of the pecking order and she likes to feel protected under Pebbles.  Also, Shasta isn't the one who follows, Pebbles does too!  I usually am the one to let the chickens out and I am pretty sure Pebbles has my image in her brain that she wants to follow me around all the time!  And of course if Pebbles follows so does Shasta!  They both run up to me like I am the best thing the world has given to them except for food of course! =O)

My Chicken Family

I have two chickens, one named Shasta a Silkie and a Sussex named Pebbles.  It is so fun to watch them,  they always follow each other around instinctively.  They are so cute!  They lay eggs everyday and they taste much better than those store bought eggs.  They have a big difference in size but it is worth it.  When we compare the two eggs it almost seems like it is a goose egg!   I highly recommend getting chickens.  You don't need to have a big backyard, in fact our backyard is pretty small but our chickens  still enjoy the space!
