When we went to pick up our chickens, I was walking around the chicken run with the boys and this one just kept following us around. We weren't planning on getting one that was this old already, but we almost felt like we had no choice! Then Jordan reached in the run and the chicken let him pick her up.
The other two we got are little ones, so Jonah naturally (though incorrectly) assumes that the big one is the mom and the little ones are her babies. He started calling her Mama Chicken and it seems to have stuck.
The little ones are still pretty skittish, but Mama Chicken is very mellow and seems to be enjoying her new home. The boys love watching the chickens and think its great fun when we let them out of their coop to wander the yard.
