The neighbor's chicken has seemingly become my friend! Their little girl has named her Girly".My grandmother had chickens when I was really young but I don't remember her having them long so I do not remember chickens behavior.
The hen is very docile. She will let you pet her and she follows me around like a dog!
When I arrive at the horses if she's not already at the barn she comes running and follows me to the barn.
Here she is as I'm giving Clyde his feed.
My barn cat Lovey hasn't been coming to the barn lately as she pulled a "bad mom" stunt. We had a rainy cold snap a couple of weeks ago. Lovey had just moved the kittens from the barn to some bushes by the neighbors house. My neighbor went to check on the kittens and found them soaking wet and shivering from the cold but no Lovey. She took the babies in her house, dried them off then went looking for Lovey. She found her in the barn! She picked her up and made her stay with the babies. I got to see them the other day when I had Kennedy with me. Kennedy wanted to see them so we asked my neighbor who graciously obliged.
Back to Girly.... I found her several times eating cat food. Lovey wouldn't stay when she did so I started giving Girly her own to eat. I've continued to do that. I also leave out the cat food bowl for the big black cat that I believe is the daddy to the kittens although I've not seen him lately.
The other day I picked up Korin from school. I've started feeding Clyde an additional feeding to help keep wait on him as we go through the winter months. Korin and I found Girly doing the strangest thing (at least to us). You can hear Korin and I talking in the background.
Have a good one!
