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.

Hey, that's great, Joan! Looks just like her! :) Good to see new artwork from you. I know you have been busy, but I am glad you are finding time for art.

That is an amazing drawing!! My counsins have the same kind of chicken and this almost looks like a potrait of their "chick!" Keep it up! :)

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

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