As promised, here are some more chicken portraits taken a couple of evenings ago while the chicks were out having fun in their new yard for the first time. They were all so TIRED by evening! All that flitting around chasing bugs and swinging off the tall grass really wore them out!
The always adorable Curly Que, coppin' a squat on the rim of the feed container...
One of the Golden Comet girls, coppin' a squat IN the feed container...
Tipsy Frizzywinkle, showing off her sylin' doo! Such charm!
Wiley is a little TINY rooster. He might stand as tall as the length of my hand. Maybe. I think he's a Dutch bantam, but I'm not sure. First I thought he was an Old English Game Bantam (OEGB), but I think he has the wrong color legs for an OEGB. I haven't taken much time to research him. I bought him out of a "mixed bantam" group, so that's why I'm not certain what he is. He'll be a looker though, that's for sure! His gold feathers are coming in really nicely!
This photo of Curly Que just makes me LAUGH! What a CUTE chicken butt!! *giggle*
I love your chicken pics!

I am so glad it is just not my chicks who sit in their feed, and the side of the feed container...

Ooh, I like Linda C's idea of a chicken calendar. These chicken photos just crack me up. The cute butt looks like a deluxe feather duster!! I really enjoy your farm life stories and photos.

Oh my gosh I just love these photos of the chickens. Who knew there were so many different kinds and they all have names that looks like they match their personalities. Tipsy Frizzywinkle has got some kinda doo going with those feathers.

Hi Anna ~~ Thanks for my daily feed of, "On The Farm With Anna & Her Wacked-Out-Looking Chickens!" LOL *smile*
There is such a variety in their shapes, colours, sizes, and the freaked-out hair-do's most of YOUR chickens have :)
But what I really want to know is what brand of Hair Gel do your chickens prefer? L'Oreal's Wet & Spikey, or maybe Pantene's Full & Feathery? heheheee
Can't get enough of these crazy characters Anna :D

their personalities really come through in your photos. Until I started reading your blog I thought a chicken was jsut a chicken, how wrong can a person be, lol.
Posted by: Kathleen | May 14, 2009 at 10:03 PM
Oh my goodness your chicken photos are just wonderful. It's always a pleasure to see your critters.
Posted by: Ida | May 14, 2009 at 10:01 PM
Great pictures as always Anna! Love your sense of humore. Also love your loving heart!!
Posted by: Cynde | May 14, 2009 at 09:44 PM
Oh what cute chickens in such cute poses! I had no idea that chickens came in such interesting feathers until I started reading your blog. That little rooster is a looker. By the way, has Tiny Tim grown any more feathers?

I LOVE to see posts of your chickens (and other assorted animals)! BTW- Did you ever name the pretty gray Bantam hen? Curious minds want to know. :D
Posted by: Janet Sisk | May 14, 2009 at 08:12 PM
Cute chicken butt?? O.K. You should consider making a chicken calender out of these amazing photos.
Posted by: Linda C. | May 14, 2009 at 08:01 PM
You think my husband will understand if I ask for chickens for my birthday??

Pure preciousness, ANna. That's what this is.
