Chickens




These are not paintings--I'm playing with photo shop and with chickens! My son is camping and has a few chickens that needed to be let out of their pen. My granddaughter and I had fun letting the chickens pluck bits of crackers out of our hands--then we'd try to pet them--we could hardly touch one--they would come and eat crumbs right at our feet, if we even slowly put out our hand to lightly touch--they would run, hop/fly, and cluck out of the way. It became a game. I was able to very lightly touch the black and white ones twice. Patience did the same, but touched one of the RhodeIsland reds once!--this was a big deal because they were the tougher ones to touch.
