Most characterful backyard birds I've kept

Five years of Silkie keeping and they remain my favourite flock. Each hen has a distinct personality — Duchess is the bold leader, Pearl is timid but curious, Minerva is perpetually broody and maternal. They interact with each other in ways that are fascinating to observe. They come to greet me every morning, follow me around the garden, and have been caught (on camera) watching TV through the patio door. Endlessly entertaining.
