i love them all to bits. my light sussex seems to be a bit more shy than the rest but my rhode island red has the biggest bright yellow feet you have ever seen. much more confident around everybody infact she gave our jack russel a shock at dinner time when she grabbed his nose. he jumped a mile :lol::lol:

LOL Pete, your two sound just like mine, Pepper the Light Sussex is the most shy, still isn't crouching, I'm lucky if I can get close enough to stroke her. Margo, my r.i.r is sure she's a house chook, spends all her free range time trying ( and often succeeding )to get inside with us, is most indignant when I turf her out ! she is so funny, definitely the nosiest. :lol:

Hey, Pete, I envy you those yellow legs (not yours :oops: ). I have four Miss Pepperpot hybrids and two have the grey Maran legs and two have yellowish legs from their RIR ancestry. Love the bright yellow legs (and there's some interesting chicken history related to that).

 

The main thing on this forum is the love of chooks! I'll bet your Jack Russell gives your hens a wide berth now! :lol:

 

Thanks for writing in lower case. Does make it easier on the eyes.

My Light Sussex is the smallest, bottom of the pecking order, has never crouched, will not feed from my hand and has never willingly been picked up (OK once you get her in your arms). My Bluebelle is my biggest, then the blackrock.

 

I guess it will be a case of wait and see which of yours ends up the biggest - but let us know ...we could start a poll - guess the weight of the chicken!
