I’ve always wanted Buff Orps based on everything I’ve read about them as an egg layer/brooder and their personalities. Now I am SOLD! Even my cats “dab” at spiders if the see one and won’t kill them. Meanwhile, I’m looking for the 10 foot pole LOL I’m getting myself a flock of Orps!Shire's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15728097107631940066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4771557388430184941.post-51952061148695265682010-11-10T08:48:38.567-07:002010-11-10T08:48:38.567-07:00Kirby shared this post with me and I can't bel...Kirby shared this post with me and I can't believe it, OMG!

I think it is hilarious when they don't get enough attention, they'll run back toward their buddys to show off what they have, hoping someone will chase them. I'm surprised the other girls didn't yank parts of it off as she went by! Hilarious that her eye is closed in the picture--that's a big gulp! What a brave, brave girl.

Those chickens move super fast when it comes to prey. Good shots!<br /><br />My chickens have eaten many lizards, spiders, stink bugs, baby snakes and lots of mice. They are better hunters than an outdoor cat, imo. Since we got our chickens, our pest numbers have went way down.<br />As, I'm sure yours will, too.<br />And now you can sit outside in your barefeet without worring about huge hairy spiders crawling across your toes. lol!<br /><br /><br />~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4771557388430184941.post-60971746829462533712010-11-02T11:13:50.651-06:002010-11-02T11:13:50.651-06:00BAD PEACH!
