I bet you've hear that myth about turkeys ...
                                                                                            photo compliments of Doug Deal
that they are so stupid they stick their head up in the rain and drown.
Of course it's not true !!!  Turkeys are very smart birds.  They play the roll of guard dogs here, and they follow visitors around to keep an eye on them, they know where every thing is going on at Rikki's, and no kind of weather stops them !!!!  

Hurry up hooman

You probably think of roosters with their comb sticking up high.  Not all roosters are made that way.  Some have flat combs.  There are so many variations of chickens !!!   The naked necks with a thinner coat of feathers and none on their necks.  Chickens with feathers on their feet.  Ones with pom poms on their heads.

Just arrived today.  She and her flock were pets.  She the last remaining one and her people didn't want to get more chickens and didn't want her to be the only one.  She's super loving and friendly and loves to be held.  We'll work with her and see if she'd like to become a Spokes Chicken and go on educational visits to schools and help us teach humane education !!!

Don't worry, if they start fighting the guinea fowl will come and put an end to it with their screeching !!!

Love, Opie
