Phyllie and Finn, Good Friends 1-28-12

Really, is there anything cuter than this? Phyllie and Finn. Good friends.

(Phyllie almost 6 months old. Finn 2 1/2 years old.)

Susan and Phyllie 1-28-12

I am turning friend Susan into an animal lover, specifically a chicken lover. Phyllie is THE most adorable chicken ever. Next visit she'll be hugging Phyllie. :)

Snow 1-21-12



After shoveling the coop area, I put Phyllie under the coop where she can eat and drink and be protected from the weather.

They have protected areas. Only Phyllie is under the coop. New straw to keep their feet off the snow/ice.

Treats on a Snowy Day 1-21-12



The four I rescued in November. Treating them to the shell of a spaghetti squash and seeds from a cantaloupe. My five got their special treat in their coop.

Snow 1-21-12


Shoveled 4" early this morning. Now to get rid of the extra inch or so. Can't have the hens' feet get frostbitten. Phyllie is the only one who has ventured out of the coop. Either she doesn't know any better, or the others are chicken, pun intended.


The five big girls have stayed in the coop. Bunch of chickens. :)

Aunt Ollie and Phyllie 1-20-12

My Aunt Ollie came to visit. She loved Phyllie, as does Finn.

We have had many chickens, but Phyllie seems to be our favorite. She is incredibly adorable.
