My familymoved to a pocket-size town in the Midwest of about 700 hoi polloi flop before Christmas of 2018 .
Having chickenswas a must for us . We waited eight month for our house because it was district for agriculture . Because it had 3 demesne right off a river , we could have cock , too !
Getting Nakeds
We ordered our infant chickens online . The sidereal day that they arrived in the post , I was gleeful at the 18 chirp yellow chicks face back at me . Katze Roman
We orderedNaked Neck chickenspartly because of their name and part because we loved the means they looked . I raised them in the brooder of our test - in front porch .
Silkie Smooth
Soon after , a coworker of my mother mentioned that she had a noisy cock that she desperately want to get rid of . She said she ’d give us the rooster spare of explosive charge . She say she ’d even cast in a laying hen if I ’d number and get them . Katze Roman
I quickly jumped on the deal . My husband and I made the hour misstep with our girl to her home to find a waddling , noisy , scraggly Silkie cock .
I fell in love all over again ! We name the rooster Benji and the concomitant Silkie hen Macy May .
Meet the Peeps
The Naked Neck chicks quickly joined our two older additions . Macy May adopted the babies as her own after losing her fertilized eggs to an infection .
Our mountain is now a family of 20 . My girl absolutely enjoys chasing them around and collect egg . And I love driving my neighbour dotty with Benji ’s nonstop crowing !
Whenever we have companionship , I ’m the first to offer a term of enlistment of our flock , boasting about the alien breed we prefer and show off our birdie .

I have sex waking up every break of day and hear to Benji having “ crow offs ” with our new neighbour ’ roosters . Our chicken have been an inviolable blessing to us !
