(late) 7 month old Photo Op! (pic heavy!)

[pipdzipdnreadytogo]

Okay, so I took the pictures on the wednesday before Thanksgiving (the approximate day they turned 7 months old), so y'all can probably guess why it's taken me until now to post them. XD

(And after struggling with photobucket for the past half an hour or so, I actually have the pictures uploaded!

)

Everyone with a beard is an Easter-Egger, everyone with bars is a Barred Rock! Enjoy!


Cressy was very interested in the camera:

Or, at least until something else caught her eye:

Betty went out on a limb to get my attention:

Moving on--HEY! Betty wasn't done with her attention! She squawks in protest:

Freema's giving the 'innocent look'. I wonder what she was getting into before I noticed her...:

'Who me? I never get into things!':

Debra Jo dances by. She's far too busy for more than one picture:

Wynne has an affection for the spotlight:

But all the excitement has worn her out:

The boys don't know what to think of all this:

(Thomas on the left, Moose on the right)


Natalie doesn't approve of the paparazzi:

So I had to sneak a picture of her--Surprise!:

Kate knew what was up. She wasn't coming out from under the forsythia until I put the camera away! Too bad it lost most of its leaves already:

Maggie saw this and gave up. 'Let's just get it over with,' she says with a roll of her eyes:

Mako, on the other hand (wing?) doesn't mind a few photos, 'But no autographs, please.':

Cricket was so surprised, she squatted right then and there!:

When she noticed it was just me and my camera, well, that was the end of her:

Hours later, Diana has finally given me her rent and is allowed out of the nest box / jail:

(She must be mad about how she's been treated! Look at those eyes!)

So cute! My chickens didn't like the snow, in fact they squawked so much I ended up shoveling out a nice path for them. Unfortunately, they were stuck in the pen for almost a month waiting for the snow to melt.

My young pullets first look at snow! October 2011!

Ah, thanks for all the comments!

theoldchick- I love that one, too! Cricket's always been generous with the squats since she started, though. She just sits there for five minutes every time she does it for me.

emerald eyes- I think I spoke too soon when I said that...

We've gotten about 4 inches of snow today, and it started not long after I posted, too.

Oh, well.

Fran's quite a character! I've always loved that pattern on chickens, too.

(Good night, BYC. You've kept me up too late as it is. XD )
(Edited for spelling. This time, good night for sure.
