This is a story about my small farm, about bantam chickens which are now growing and multiplying. I raised this pair of bantam chickens from childhood, when the chickens were only four weeks old.

Now, the rooster has become an adult with a shrill crow. While the hen has laid eggs several times, and twice I let them incubate. Unfortunately, my bantam chicken hen was not very good at taking care of her children so the dominant ones died because they were "kidnapped" by cats, eaten by ferrets and other pests such as hawks.

Today, I let this pair of bantam chickens play freely in my yard. These chickens are master hunters of several types of small insects, such as dragonflies, grasshoppers, ants, termites and other types of insects.

I don't know what else to say about this pair of bantam chicken that I accidentally bought. Agh, I hope the pictures of chickens that I shot using this smartphone can captivate hive users, especially in this community.

Only this picture, I take with a Nikon D300s camera long time ago.

Healthy greetings from me to all of you.
