Here's one of our lovely ladies, Dixie, enjoying the beautiful lush carpet of grass in our yard...

Dixie...look up and smile for the camera!

And here's Madeline with Dixie's sister Jasmine....

This little country girl ❤LOVES❤ her Henny Penny's! AND.......she is teaching them to "jump"

for treats!
(Please ignore the community chicken run crocks!)

And they're getting pretty good!

This one is my favorite....

So does anybody else teach tricks to their chickens??

Yup, our Henny does that. She will also give kisses. All food motivated mind you ;p So fun! Cute photos!

Aww!

Thanks for sharing! I always love to see your photos!

My chickens will jump up for food sometimes too. But a week or so ago, one of my chickens had jumped up for some cooked egg (I wasn't expecting it) and actually cut my finger. It was sort of like a paper cut. No biggie, but it sure surprised me! I didn't even know they had teeth!

Ouchie! Sometimes when I'm sitting on the ground with the hen's, they'll peck my back and take me by surprise! Ouch! That really smarts. I justify their behavior by telling myself that they're just petting me back.

Thanks for the nice comments about my photos. It Makes me feel good.
