On her second night, she refused to sleep in the cage and wound up being put in a box where she seemed more comfortable and went right to sleep, finally.=)

Here is Almond.  Easygoing and friendly.

Think he’s a rooster? That’s my guess.

Say hi to Fudge! Fudge was extremely shy when she first arrived and is overcoming her shyness really quick.

Hazel (hen) and Basil (rooster) 11-21-12, Solo is happy at the farm. Unlike the other chicks that slept in a cage until ready to perch on trees, these 2 went from sleeping in a cage, to a box and now perching on wood that holds up the clothes line. Seems they don’t want to sleep in a tree yet.

These Red Star hens were flown in about 2 years ago from Hawai’i when they were chickies in a crate full of chickies to provide lots of fresh eggs at the family farm.
