Pets on the Square pt 3 5-7-11

Walking down Main Street in the parade. Lots of excitement over the chickens.

Pets on the Square pt 2 5-7-11

I'm such a little farm girl! :)



My girls' first ribbon! And $30 in Hummelstown bucks. We can use it in many businesses in Hummelstown. I see lunch out in one of the town restaurants. But Parke wants to use it at some car supply/car wash place.

Pets on the Square pt 1 5-7-11

Loaded up the girls and stuff to enter the Hummelstown Pets on the Square. There are about 6 categories to dress your pet. I did "Life's a Beach." For a while we had the girls on the square as people walked around. Lots of people were interested. Kids loved petting them. With dozens of dogs there, they were unique.


Getting into categories in a parking lot, preparing for the judging.








I tried various things to dress the girls, but really, it's impossible. I spent the morning just trying out stuff on Lacey. No way would she keep anything on. I gave up, ran to KMart and got girls' hair thingies and put them around their necks. Ellie and Pearl refused to keep them on. I finally gave up on those two.

Doesn't Phyllis look cute with her orange ribbon?

Cabbage and Chicken Planter 5-6

The girls had a special treat of cabbage this evening. It will be totally gone in two days.

My cousin in SC got me the chicken planter. It will be great when the flowers fill it up. Isn't it cute?

Lacey 5-6

Lacey has such soft and smooth feathers. Love petting her. She's very friendly. She LOVE stink bugs.

Notice the different feathers from head to toe.

Honey 5-6

Honey is a very shy. Sadly, she is on the bottom of the pecking order. If she had her head up high, you'd see that most of the feathers are off on one side of her neck. Some of the other birds peck them out. We have to do some preventative things to help her out.
The second pic is of Chicken Little hiding and Honey also staying close to a shelter.

Chicken Little 5-6

Chicken Little is a buff laced Polish. She is the second to bottom of the pecking order. One of her problems is she can't see with all those head feathers. When left to grow, she can't see. She runs into things. When the other hens peck on her, she can't get away. She is due for another haircut. I trim her bangs.

She has a pretty tail. Not fluffy like some of the other girls.
