Marissa the Cream Legbar sez “Braaaaak! Don’t take that shot! If you hold the camera that close I’ll look RIDICULOUS!”
Here’s a nice shot of Paulette and Marissa the
Cream Legbar hens from about a year ago – they were just starting to lay eggs!
Paulette could be the world’s most molty chicken
in this shot! She only has two tail feathers left, but she’s really, really
proud of them!
Here’s a prettier shot from early September of
Paulette in almost the exact same spot in the hen pen as the previous shot. She’s does look about a
bazillion times better when she has feathers!
Here’s a picture from just a few weeks ago of
Paulette and Bonnie the Cream Legbar hens dust bathing. Now, everybody’s sad
because the ground is covered with snow. There are sand-filled dust baths
inside the coop, but it’s just not the same as going outside, digging your own
hole, and having a good ol’ dust bath in the great outdoors!
Bonnie stands pensively outside the coop on an
overcast fall day.
Here’s Snowball the white Silkie roo out for
his morning walk.
Here's a
picture I took in May of Willow the Buff Orpington. Willow is old and lame and
has some underlying health issues, but she is sweet-tempered and social, and
just keeps clucking along. She should be an inspiration to us all!
Willow spots
a cricket on the coop door frame and sez, “Yay! Snax!”
Rosa the
Rhode Island Red is in her 5th year, and is the last of my original four Reds.
She would view any discussion of her demise to be premature. She's a happy,
active hen, and still making those nice big brown eggs!
Sam the
Easter Egger poses for the camera and asks “Is this an attractive angle to show
off my beautiful ear tufts?” No worries, Sam, no worries.
Jennifer
the White Crested Polish Hen pauses just outside the coop door to take in the
fall day.
