here a chick, there a chick, everywhere a chick, chick

Before there was television, people used to watch chickens.

Red Jungle Fowl Rooster.

He's a wild chicken and didn't like getting his photo taken.

twenty-five: rooster earrings

Chickens! Over the past few years I convinced Tom to let me get some chickens. I love to bake, and wanted my own fresh eggs from my own chickens. Plus, we have the space - so why not use it? I love their clucks and crows and the way they follow me around hoping for some chicken treats! Tom is a good sport and didn't complain when I "accidentally" got the flock up to about 70. Oops! But now we are down to a manageable 22. That's not counting the guinea fowl (10) or the red jungle fowl (7) - of course. Those aren't chickens, you know! I love these sweet rooster earrings!
