Portrait of a young Speckled Sussex hen.
I had forgotten how intelligent and friendly they can be.

Where did this romanticism about loose Chickens in the Garden start?
Do you know what unsupervised chickens running loose in your garden gets you? A fucked up garden.
They eat everything. Not just the bad bugs. The good bugs. Bees from your hive. New shoots coming up. The tops of your root crops. Unripe tomatoes. Ripe berries. Your rare Aroid that you brought outside for more natural light.
What doesn't get devoured gets either trampled down or dug up. Then they go stabby-stab into your baby pumpkins with their damn face-knives. Dig holes like a sled dog trying to escape the suburbs. Gods help you if you’ve got a hormonal rooster with a clear line of sight to your elderly neighbor.
You’ve heard good fences make good neighbors?
Well here good fences are the only thing keeping the prehistoric horrors at bay. They will test the perimeter. Yes I know they're soft, round, and cute. They still forage like an orc army. Don't be John fucking Hammond.

A pretty feather from one of my roosters! He’s a Speckled Sussex and I love the triplicate colors of black, brown, and the frosted white feather tip
I 💜 chiggums 🐓

It's 13°F this morning and the Chipens somehow managed to get their coop open and were quite eager to come inside for some scratch and fresh water. Abby the Speckled Sussex complained quite loudly about being put back in the run. They will just have to deal with it because they don't get to roam the yard till the hawks have had breakfast and i don't want to clean up the mess they would create being inside the kitchen till then.

I wanted to add some new hens to our flock this year. I just placed an order to a hatchery in Iowa. In order to get the breeds of chicks I want simultaneously, we have to wait for a delivery of about June 4th. The chicks that will be arriving by mail are two American breeds; Delaware and Silver Laced Wyandotte, and an English breed, the Speckled Sussex.
