Here is my 2 year old Barred Plymouth Rock hen, Jeffrey. (My brother, who has a weird sense of humor, named her.) She was the sweetest chicken I have owned, but she recently drowned in my duck pond. I was devastated. I have since drained the pond, which was a 2' deep stock tank, and will be putting in a more traditional pond with very gradual sides and rocks to help keep chickens from slipping, in the spring.
I thought it might be nice to honor her memory by posting her picture here.
This is our Harold, a Black Sex-Link, 12 pounds, male, 4 years old. This photo was taken by my friend and world renowned photographer, Patrick de Vries!
Just behind Harold is Cleo. She's 3, Harold is her dad and her mom is a black skinned, bearded, silky, banty named Blue (for her blue ear lobes).
