The young chickens seem to congregrate together, while the older ones go off and do their own thing.
Here’s a bunch of our younger crew I caught in a heap on top of a lumber pile. They’re a mix of Buff Orpington, Polish Silver Laced, and Sicilian Buttercup. It always amazes me we ended up with so many white chickens in this generation, when none of the foundation flock was white.
A real motley crew!

Great picture. Buff Orps are my favorites for personality, but love the hats on the Polish too.
I like the Tina Turners and Phyllis Dillers of the chicken world too! But the Buff Orps are just sooooo sweet and easy going, and great mothers. If I ever buy chicks again, I’d likely buy them. They also lay nice brown eggs!
Nice gang! They look like they’re looking for trouble. But you know chickens!
