Our local paper just had an article about keeping chickens in your yard...mind you this was within city limits and ofcourse there are restrictions..only up to 4 hens...and no roosters...which makes sense for the crowing factor. Not that I'm considering it...because I think along with the eggs, which would be good, I hear there's also an increase in rodents due to the feed...no thanks! I'll just continue to snap pictures and paint them...

Just when I think it can´t get any more exciting you throw in this beauty with the red and turquoise....and those feathers!!!
ReplyDeleteThe position of the bird too....
well,,, here we go again with the whole kit and kaboodle :)
Very interesting chickens !
ReplyDeleteI can't even handle the dogs and cats we have now. I could never add chickens to the mix! Still, I enjoy seeing everyone's paintings. This one is lovely and I love the touches of blue in the feathers!
ReplyDeleteI really support the whole backyard chicken campaign. Three or four chickens make fine eggs and chickens can be lovely pets. I always liked to sit and hang out with mine as they would patrol around for bugs and make lovely little "gerling" sounds.
ReplyDelete...the only problem I see is the cleaning of the hen house - did one too many when I was growing up... but the eggs are amazing. I just love your chickens - what size are the paintings? and the prices? I will check to see if you have a website. I will go to that if you do. Great work - I really enjoy it.
