She is the darling of the house for sure. She's more than 12 years old...I think she was hatched in September of 2013 if I remember correctly. We have lost her two sisters and all of her babies, but she's still going strong!She's adorable! Twelve years is an amazing for chickens and it's clear she's been well cared for.
This was actually a bird cage that she found her way into and I was in the right place at the right time to get the picture. She's a free range inside chicken. Maybe she's lived as long as she has because she's eating very expensive bird food that the parrots throw on the floor!So cute! Does she stay in all the time?
That was Dagbert...he was a black frizzle and was so amazing! He ended up only living about six months because of a tumor. We tried to treat it but he passed at the UW when they were trying to get CT images. That was the day before Thanksgiving and my husband was a total mess. We went back to Chicago on Thanksgiving day to the same breeder and picked up Tildie and two of her sisters because Jon couldn't stand not having a chicken in the house...true story! LOL!Did you get her at a bird fair in Chicago? I remember meeting a few roadies back then and I thought there were baby chickens.....
Is she the last one?She is the last one of the older bunch. We brought home two more when her last friend passed. She is now a baby sitter and girlfriend to the new two!I miss my chickens! I couldn't remember how long lived chickens are. Matilda is soo sweetIs she the last one?
I really meant does she stay inside the house all the time. Such a lucky and adorable girl!This was actually a bird cage that she found her way into and I was in the right place at the right time to get the picture. She's a free range inside chicken.

You had guineas? I hear they are great alarm systems.A couple of my guineas went to an older couple years and years ago. They would leave the screen door open and the guineas would come and go as they pleased.
AND they chase off snakes and eat ticks. I got them for mom's farm. Awesome things.....You had guineas? I hear they are great alarm systems.
They're cool looking birds. I've always want to sculpt one. There's no sneaking in or out the farm house when guineas are around!AND they chase off snakes and eat ticks. I got them for mom's farm. Awesome things.....
Yes, she stays inside all the time. She is a Serama (one of the smallest breeds) and can't handle hot temps or cold temps. Keeping her in temps from 60 and 75 is the best temps for her breed. We've had her outside on occasion but she's living her best life as a house chicken!I really meant does she stay inside the house all the time. Such a lucky and adorable girl!
Love the Polish Frizzles! OMG! So cute!I would totally have a frizzle or two if I could. Though I do have to say the Frizzle Polish and Frizzle Silkie are too adorable. Who doesn't love watching chickens bobbing around... they're too funny! Nice that they don't mind a cuddle!
