I&#8217;m so happy to have my own source chicken material! Before this I only had the chicken encyclopedia. Though, the encyclopedia is great for exotic breeds of chickens, which we don&#8217;t have here. I believe this one is called an <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">American Buff<\/span> it&#8217;s a Buff Orpington. Incidentally, such a thing as an American Buff exists, but it is a goose and not a chicken.

It looks like it could be a Cochin &#8230; ah, I need a chicken expert.<\/p>\n<p>Oh! I have to talk about these chickens. So we met these chickens during an annual event that, out east, is known as, &#8220;Chicken Day.&#8221; :) It tickles me to say that we went to &#8220;Chicken Day,&#8221; haha. Anyway, it&#8217;s called that because it&#8217;s the time of the year when they have all the new hatchlings to sell. They&#8217;re shipped from the midwest, I think the hatchery is in Iowa or Ohio. So there were so many little chicks, they were sooo adorable :)<\/p>\n<p>Then they also had a bunch of adult chickens, and asides from looking very healthy and happy, these were the tamest chickens we&#8217;ve ever seen! You could pet them and they would just kind of sit or squash down, letting you pet them. They were like dogs! Giant bird dogs! Ahaha.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I love chickens.
