Well, lets just say that I be a dead to rights scoundrel if this were a reference to 'chicks' of my own species...but alas, I am a farmer in the middle of nowhere and that complicates the dating situation a bit...my lifestyle is more hermit than playa'...so here is a tribute to the chicks that I am getting to know this summer...
I have always had a weakness for blondes, and this is a good example. My favorite chicken breed is the Buff Orpington.
Now these cuties are Mottled Javas and they came here all the way from the corn belt of the Mid-West. The Java is the second oldest breed of chicken in the US and comes in four colors...Mottled is my favorite...
These beauties are Buckeyes, all the way from Ohio originally. They are also the only chicken breed developed by a woman. Thanks to Nettie Metcalf (creator of the breed) for creating these beauties...
These are Auburn Javas...cute little chicks aren't they?
Well, that's all the chicks that I have met so far this summer. It is still early in the season and I promise to introduce ya'll to some more Javas (Black and White Javas) soon.
In the mean time keep it between the rows and watch out for hoes, 'cause they chop off toes...if ya farm barefoot and ain't paying attention...
