I tried to make sure I grabbed only Sally's eggs.
The oldest (large white one) is 6 weeks old.
The youngest (small white one) is 4 weeks old. So it may be too early to tell.
I'll take individual and close-up shots soon...
In 2019 a photographer-friend took pictures of my very first group of chicks when they were awkward teens. I decided to design 5 x 7 (folded) greeting cards.
(Nice kraft brown envelopes included) I have a limited amount left so I'm offering them to this group instead of posting to my...
Sally has a big crush on my dog, Nathan.
Nathan wants nothing to do with Sally.
So to get a picture of Sally and Nathan together, I had to bring in the "body double." :love

2018 was the first year I had chickens so I couldn't resist giving this a shot. My boys (Chinese Cresteds) were great sports.
And the chickens played along too. (They were so young! lol).

Nathan and Lemonade (both alive and well)

She is the sweetest girl...
I found a great home for my rockstar rooster boys...Yahoo, Google and Raisin. And while I was at the TS swap found two sweet girls who grabbed my heart.
Meet Sally and Freida!
I'm learning so much, in my third year of "Chicken Obsession!!"
I bought Sally and Freida from the same person at...

SweetTea is so nurturing and tolerant....these babies are her everything!
And then there are these four...the REAL moms!
All they think about are treats.
So my guy, Firecracker, has started spinning, the last two evenings, at my back door before retiring to the coop. At first, I thought he had something stuck on his foot. But tonight, he was going faster than a 45 record (oh my, remember those?)....and low to the ground. I can't wait to see if he...
My Mom "Grandma Tillie" will be 92 in July and has very recently moved into Assisted Living. Because of covid, I can only visit her once a week for less than an hour; I really miss her..
She was born in Alabama, loved the show "HeeHaw," plays the accordion..AND...can't figure out why I would...
