Chickens!

owlbehawkward: “Ginger” The fattest chicken I ever did see :)

Hi Ginger, let’s be friends.

vacuumcleanersucksupbudgie: I don’t know if you’re interested, but this is Florence, a bantam silkie.  Silkies are well known for being a calm and friendly breed; as such, Florence is grumpy, anti-social and roars like a dinosaur. She was one of only two chickens left for sale because no one had wanted her.

Mod: Awwwwww what a cutie!

luv2sigh: My Chinese Silkies :P So very fluffy!

is-meth-death: My cochin hen, Clucky, going for a stroll.

captainawesomebro: I’m not sure if these guys are exactly “fat birds” and the picture isn’t of the best quality (it’s a camera phone) but here’s a photo of my cockatiel Popeye and our neighbor’s chicks!

carastrever: Boone, the best chick nanny there ever was.
