As for the new ones, I am kind of disappointed by the lack of temperament of the Brahma. She really has a lot of spirit. It is good to be able to share with fellow chicken friends. Thanks to all of you. We lost our Reba 2 years ago and we still think of her.
Chickens are so special.
I feel for you and your loss. Maybe that is why it is my favorite breed. Whenever I called her name she would come running from anywhere in the barnyard, and she talked quietly to herself all the time. When she started getting sick her sister, Mandy, was with her at all times. If she slept in the sun, Mandy was always right by her.
