Do you live on a farm or just have strange neighbors?

 

[kyparrish]

[Tiamat]

3 of them look very angry as if they will suddenly turn and chase you while pecking at your feet.

I was expecting girls.

 

[Zysoclaplem]

I bet their breasts would taste wonderful.

 

[Sentinel]

I own a farm now.
I have those chickens just to keep the flower beds free of bugs (they do a good job)
I also have a large shed with chickens for eggs, and turkeys for Thanksgiving, xmas, etc. dinners. (hope to have a 30lb+ fresh bird for Thanksgiving this year; none of that frozen crap "with 10% water added")
Plus, peacocks, mini llama, alpaca, fainting goats, rabbits, 3 dogs, and a cat. Oh, and fish.

Those are some ugly chickens. When are you gonna cook 'em?

Not cute at all. They look like mutated Emu's.

lmao, my wife was offended by that
They are her favorite breed of chickens (silkies.) They are super-fluffy birds, with no real purpose as far as I can tell. Well, actually, they are good for sitting on eggs; I plan on using them to hatch the peacock eggs next spring.

Those're some wacky looking chickens!

Pretty cool.

Are they for eggs, or just for fun? Meat?

Well I think they look awesome.

What size eggs do they lay? Are the eggs worth eating or are they tiny things like quail's eggs?

Can you eat silkie chickens?

yum.

The silkies are "just for fun"; not really a heavy enough breed to make it worth the bother butchering them for food.

And, by coaxing, all my other animals come up to me when they see me; they've associated me with food. The silkies are pretty stupid. They run away.
