The Chicken who loves me...

First and most important..Happy Birthday, Amy.
I would have posted about goats, but I was fresh out 'em... raincheck.

Tonight my Mom told me, in her own special way of course, that my blog was stagnant. "I can tell you haven't done anything exciting lately," was what she really said.
And I replied, "Oh don't you worry, I'll post some exciting chicken art on it tonight."
"Oh good," she said adding, "That's better than what's been on there lately."

My Mom's a blog critic:)

So I picked sh*t with a chicken at the Goodnight Farm tonight. Yep. I was belly down with a rooster who really, really liked me. He kept pecking me in all the wrong places. Finally I had to give him the 'Let's just be friends,' talk-off and he didn't take it so well.

In any case, I used a bit of Lucis Art on the bottom photo. Otherwise this is straight forward chicken art.

Speaking of chickens. Forgot to tell you about the great roast chicken recipe I found -easy and delicious lots of herbs etc.

great picture. Good for you taking it. I don't care for chickens or roosters. Every once in a while some neighbor gets the idea to have a rooster. They crow all the time not just at sunrise. Unfortunately or fortunately they don't stick around long. Something gets them and no it's not me.

Awesome chicken pics and thanks for the bday wishes! (I want chickens too, ya know, not just goats. I've got my breed picked out even: silver-laced wyandotte.)

Your mom is sure to approve these~!!

If roosters crow a lot it is because they don't feel secure; they're quite often dealing with potential predators. My Turkey Tom, Franklin, gobbles more than my roosters crow. My poultry lot looks like Ft. Knox around it.

I have no idea what kind of breed that rooster is. The red feathering at the beard is quite unusual but he sure is photogenic.
