bok update
i got a coop

next steps: build a run, get feed, straw, and water
next next step: get some teenage hens (i.e. sexed and past incubation but maybe just pre-laying age or just entering laying age)

what kinda hens should I get?! so many choices!
I want ones who are chill and not mean, to humans, because I intend to hang out with them
good eggs are a plus
i live in PA so hot summers and cold winters
umm
and I'm planning on getting 3 and maybe 1 of them can be a silky cause they real cool but I'd prefer mostly good layers (silkies are just okay layers I think)

any tipps?

have fun picking bocks! I love banties and cochins and amerucanas. for egg production, sexlinks are great.

some of them are! I had a tiny banty rooster who loved to chase and attack, but he was also a cochin so he'd trip on his feet feathers when he ran after people, haha. they are not the most effective attack boks

Day 22: The boks appear to have accepted me as their leader. When I let them out of their run in the evening while i'm home, any time I walk to a place in the garden to gather veggies or something, they rush after me and then hang out hunting bugs/weeds in my vicinity. If I walk to another part of the garden, they follow again. If I go inside, they go back to doing their own thing. Pepper, who is the leader while I am away, appears to be as loyal as Penelope. But I must keep a careful eye on her - a bok as clever as she is never content being second-leader for long...

when I was a kid I could lead a whole flock of chickens as long as I was carrying the kitchen scrap bucket

I had chickens in the country and we had a couple hawk attacks, but no fatalities. the hens would dive for cover in bushes, and at least one rooster defended himself from an attack. I had much worse luck in the city due to raccoons

I like that, and I also like when they are complaining and it sounds like "bitchbitchbitchbiiiitch" but most of all I like when they are happy and sleepy and they trill :3:

as a kid, we had a german shorthair pointer and a brittany spaniel, and they were both great with chickens.

as an adult, my mom's fox terrier was visiting, and killed a chicken in less than 5 minutes.
