Sophia's Bath pt 3 6-3-11

Put Sophia in the yard to dry on this beautiful day. Amazing how fast her feathers dried. Within 10 minutes of bath she was all dry.
Silkies have black skin. You can see it thru the damp feathers. If you ate her (but who would want to do that?), you'd see the breed has black bones. She's such a pretty show girl, definitely not a meat chicken.

Sophia's Bath pt 2 6-3-11

My chickens are better in the tub than some dogs and most cats.
Rinse Cycle.
Dry Cycle.
(For some reason, pictures are not uploading in the order I want them.)


Sophia's Bath pt 1 6-3-11

Sophia somehow had broken egg on her. Pearl kept pecking at her to eat the egg off.

I knocked a bunch off her feet, but still had some egg left.

Bath time to wash off the egg. How cute is that???

Barney and Maggie 6-1-11




What great cats we have. Well, they don't belong to us. They belong to two different neighbors. But they are at our house most of the time. The food on the back porch and all the love they get here keep them coming back.

Neighbors' Cats Keeping Watch 6-1-11

We have two neighbors' cats who pretty much live at our house. Barney, the dark cat, and Maggie, the orange cat, keep an eye on the chickens. Amazing how they get along.
