| We had quite a storm last night. Our newest girl is grooming herself. She is getting her tail feathers in order. |
 |
| Now she's working on the wing feathers. |
 |
| What a pretty girl. The other two babies are in the background. |
 |
| Frizzie and one of the new ones. |
 |
| All three babies are getting along well. They just met this weekend. |
 |
| Today we drove to Maryland to get this 4 month old hen. She's a rare blue Polish. |
 |
| Did you know you can cuddle chickens? Well, you can cuddle my girls. |
 |
| Showing her where she'll live when she's a little older. |
 |
| Finn is all stretched out. I should lay a yard stick beside him to see how big he is. |
 |
| He is all relaxed and he isn't moving for anyone. |
 | |
| This is Frizzie, my black frizzle cochin, and our new unnamed chick. | And one happy redhead! |
 |
| The two young ones living in the kennel now. |
 |
| They have perches and ramps to explore. |
 |
| When we took the three girls to the breeder, we came home with this girl. She's a Columbian Plymouth Rock. Each long wing feather is half black and half white. Cool design. |
 |
| Juneau back where he was hatched. Here is the breeder's son holding Juneau. |
 |
| My two girls loving their huge pen they will share with 20 other chickens. |
 |
| I had rescued 4 chickens in November. There are still major pecking order fights. I found someone who was more than happy to take these girls and give them a good home. Sad to see them go, but necessary. |
 |
| Here is Juneau, my second try to get a hen of this breed - white-crested Polish. Both times they turned out to be roosters. So he is going back to the breeder today. So sad. |
 |
| Juneau's long tail and his black/green irridescent feathers. |
 |
| Today we took the girls to Country Meadows. This is their first elevator ride! |
 |
| The residents were starting to gather as we set up. The room was full for our program. |
 |
| Some people hung around afterwards to hold a chicken. Sophia is very calm and sweet, so we can trust her to just sit on someone's lap. |
 |
| We are set up and ready to start a 3 hour program with about 6 classes at a preschool. |
 |
| I'm showing Sophia to the 2 year olds. |
 |
| Sophia being petted. |
 |
| Ellie sat among the kids to be petted. |
 |
| Four of the seven girls we took to this chicken program. |
