Our daughter, Angie, has several chickens, which we find very entertaining. She has some that are the beautiful black and white spots, forgot what kind they are. The others are more blondish in color, like this one. Checking online, I found a type called Buff Orpington, named for a town in Southeast England. Angie confirmed that is what these are, and she has given them all personal names. :) I think they are beautiful. The contented clucking of a hen is so pleasant. They come over our way to see what they can find to eat. And Peabody is usually with them. Of course, soft-hearted Carol just has to go out and feed them. It's fun to live in the country, which is where I grew up.
