Sweet Nothings

Last evening I was in our chicken yard getting our chickens into their coop for the night.  And like every night, it goes like this.

"Hey, lovely ladies!  It's time for bed, beautiful girls!"  And I walked around getting Red and Fuzzy to scurry into the coop.  "OK, Piper and Phyllis, you, too, ladies."   I picked them up (because these two like to be picked up).  "All right my precious girls, it's time for bed.  I love you!!!" 


And then I hear something to my left.  And Dave was standing there watching me.  He'd clearly been there for a while and had witnessed all of my carrying on with our chickens, telling them sweet nothings, and whatnot.  Gee...

Me:  "Hey, you know you talk to them when I'm not around, too."

Dave:  "Yeah, I do."


Sweet chicken love....


I saw these tiny canvases at an art store and I could not resist!!!  The canvas is 2x2.  I'll be selling it as a package with the easel.  So cute!!!  I will definitely be painting more of these sweet little miniatures!

Phyllis

So we have this chicken.

Phyllis is her name...and flying her freak flag like Phyllis Diller is her game.  Her feathers are poofed out all over her head in the most chickeny 'fro ever.   She is awesome!


On top of having the best chicken look ever, Phyllis is the sweetest chicken you ever could meet.  When you walk through the gate into their part of the back yard, Phyllis is the first one to come a runnin'.  That sweet girl wants you to pick her up and put her on your lap.  And then if you'd just spend a good long time scratching her back and smoothing her feathers everything will be just perfect.

And then there's this thing where when she gets startled she runs as fast as she can in the opposite direction of said startle until she runs smack dab into something.

So she's a little heavy on the sweets and a little light on the smarts.  I say that makes for the perfect chicken.
