A Girl and Her Chick

She's a chicken whisperer most certainly.

 Our little hatchling nestled down for a quiet snooze,

eyes struggling to remain open as Taylor gently petted her/him.

We think it may be a rooster since it 

is the largest and has a more prominent beak/comb.

But it's also the most gentle, perhaps a cross 

between the older rooster which is an araucana 

and one of our buff hens.

It really has the most beautiful eyes, 

large and heavily lined.

  

I think it has been watching tv while we are out,

Chicken Run to be exact.

It keeps looking at the rim of the brooder tub

which is a water trough we keep in the back

hall by the mud room.  One day I'm going to 

look down that hall and find a chicken walking out

to meet me!  Then it will be time for the coop.

I hope you all are having a wonder Memorial Day weekend.

It rained, hard.  Again.

So much for finishing up the garden!

There's always next weekend.
