I thought I'd share a couple more photos of Peanut, so you can get an idea of just how tiny she really is. Under all those beautiful feathers is an itty-bitty little birdie! Notice the dirt on Alan's t-shirt? Yeah...thanks to Junior...
Her little body just fits in our hands. The underside of her wings and her belly feathers are much lighter in color, but still have the same fun polka dots as the rest of her. And look at the little white sole's of her feet under those big feet feathers! She's a cutie for sure.

Peanut is adorable, thanks for sharing!

She is beautiful! I soooo want chickens. But with the coyote population around here it just isn't smart right now, even with my 26 donkeys!

Wonderful pictures of you and Alan. Peanut is so adorable but she looks embarrassed (eyes are closed) that you're showing her undersides, lol. TFS

Now I want to sell up and move to the country...well actually if we could afford to move two blocks away we could have chickens...and a horse...it's amazing how much house prices can differ within 2 blocks...we have a little country in the city there down by the river.
Dream on...
Love this little lady! TFS

I can't decide who's cuter -- you, Alan or Peanut! :)

What a little beauty! Glad to see Alan's shirt looks like mine after I pick up one of our cats. :)

Oh, she's SO pretty! The colors are incredible, and who doesn't want polka dots??!! Wow, what a special chicken! No wonder your banner has polka dot chicks as the "in" crowd!!! :D Thanks for the great photos...and YOU look beautiful, too! (Alan ain't bad, either! *grin*)

Wow, she really is tiny!! I am amazed at her coloring and markings, they are so beautiful, I've never seen a chicken like this before and it fascinates me. Thanks for sharing the great pics, and for the education I'm getting! :)

Both of these pictures and beautifully captured and the chickie...well...she's amazing. I think I posted on the previous pictures...never seen anything like her.

First, thank you for taking the time to leave a comment on my blog. I'm certain you have many adoring fans like me. Secondly, I understand the affection you have for your chickens. They are as beautiful as your drawings are cute! Thanks, again!

What a wonderfully pensive photo you took of Alan and Peanut. And look at you and that little cherub face of yours! I love the way you so expertly hold Peanut to show us her undercarriage and tootsies. Viewing your blog is definitely the highlight of my day!
Posted by: Gabriela | October 09, 2008 at 06:26 PM
Isn't she beautiful!!! I love that she is so small and her feather coloring is magnificent. And, even though she dirtied on Alan, she is still precious...
