The kids, now in their 30's and 40's still remember a Rhode Island Red we had in the mix of Banties and Auracanas that comprised our flock. Big Brownie, the Rhode Is. Red, stole the wiener out of one of the kids' hot dog buns and ran off with it. She was very friendly and would always hang out with or on whoever was outside. Hot dogs were a very rare treat. I wonder how she knew?
Daughter now has chickens with her daughter. Nice to see it go on and to see that if all falls apart at least the kids will know how to survive.
