This hen is just sittin minding her business of laying eggs. We raised about 200 of these laying hens and provided eggs for us, neighbors and a shelter. They required much work and although I do love fresh eggs and painting chickens I am glad I am not caring for them any more.
I do love painting chickens of all breeds and always find them interesting and each seems to have a personality. When they are in their nest they seem to be all fluffed up, I think to protect the eggs they have laid or that eggs that are yet to be laid.
You are such a master, Jean, of many things. One of which is painting chickens! Now, I know why. You've had many years to study their shapes, habits, colors and textures. You make them look as if they could "cluck" at any minute! I think almost everyone can relate to chickens in one way or another. Love your combination of colors!
