Daisy girl

Chickens are funny-lookin' creatures, aren't they? Daisy is a "blue" (but really black) Japanese silkie chicken ... all fluff and tons of personality. She is sitting very quietly on a little non-fertile egg day after day and I'd hate to tell her that it is to no avail. She looks serious, doesn't she? She'd be a good momma, that one.

  5. I hope she gets to be a Mom someday! We never had the fancy Chickens. But I had pet Chickabiddy. Wonderful drawing.

  6. I love this!! We have chickens, but not silkies. We have americanas and some mixes. They are so fun!
