SLEEP TIGHT

As this day melts into the deep purple of a winters night, I wanted to wish everyone a happy weekend.  It is suppose to drop to about 26 degrees tonight and I expect we will wake up to the artwork of Jack Frost by morning.  The chickens are snug in their coop, dreaming of all the winter bugs they ate this afternoon as the wandered around the property.  Here's hoping you have a safe and blessed weekend.

CLUCKING ALONG

My chickens love cleaning day.  When fresh straw is laid down, they scratch to their hearts content.

 
The chicken in the foreground is Raven.  She is only eight months old, but already looking gorgeous in her full adult plumage.

One must always include a good butt shot in every chicken photo shoot.  These hens are wasting no time finding all the little goodies that come in a bale of straw.

This is Bridget, another of my young hens from spring 2010.  She is just striking in her black and white markings.  She is a good layer too.

And here is a glorious picture of me and Charolette.  We both are sporting quite the hairstyle....yikes!
