This is a photo of Darling from last July. She likes to sit on the steering wheel of our Polaris Ranger until I start it up and then she flies off.
Darling has decided that she will not sleep with the other chickens this winter. No, she has made herself quite at home in the feed room in the barn. She perches atop an old, no longer hooked up, water heater in the corner of the room at night, and in the morning, when I enter the feed room to get the chicken feed, goat feed and horse feed set up for the critters, she flies to my shoulder and "talks" to me while I'm working.
What she really wants is the entire barrel of chickenfeed to herself, so after I load up a couple of pails with feed I will distribute to various feeders outside, she flies into the large barrel of feed and helps herself.
For an hour or so.
You would think that Darling would get fat. I know if I ate that much in relationship to my size, I'd be humongouser than I currently am!
Darling spends part of her day in the Rabbit Room, too. That is where my 6 French Angora rabbits are housed.
She hops around the cages, fussing, and when I go in there to feed the bunnies, she usually hops on my shoulder and supervises.
Sebrights are very friendly little chickens. If you have ever thought of getting a chicken as a pet of sorts, you can't go wrong with Sebrights.
She’s beautiful!
When I was a kid I had a pet chicken that would sit on my shoulder and talk to me, too. He’d also sit in my lap and “purr” while I pet him.
He disappeared one day and my parents told me that they had taken him to a farm so “he could run free and be happy”. I believed that story until I was in my 20s. LOL!
