They're from Araucana chicken from south America. Pretty cool if you ask me

I didn't know Araucana was spelled that way, neat!

My family had a few when I was growing up, the eggs were delicious and they only chased me around the yard sometimes

Getting chased by an aggressive rooster is one of my earliest memories. I mostly just remember jurassic park levels of pure terror.

Now that I'm a large person, that perspective seems absurd, but chickens are very scary when you are small.

I used to raise chickens when I was a kid and never got chased by a rooster for some reason, in fact usually it was the other way around. But my neighbors down the road had turkeys that they let roam free range around their property. I was a fucking short, scrawny little kid and they were almost as tall as me, and territorial af. At least a couple times I had to run for my life from those velociraptors just because I happened to turn a corner and bump into them while hanging out with that family. They'd just look at you, spread their tail feathers and start trotting at you making weird-ass noises. Fuckers are scary af

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
