Barn Chick Friday!



Howdy all you barn chicks! Come onto my back porch. Grab a sunflower to put in your hair and an apple to snack on. Let's go visit my neighbor's chickens. Amy doesn't have a barn, but she has a coop.



We'll just go in through the back gate to visit the "girls". Don't worry, they won't peck you. They are sweet girls who love to have visitors.



There is Aretha and Beatrice and I can't remember the name of Aretha's twin. Notice the oars on the other side of the fence. The girls "Dad" Billy is an expert kayaker!



Here is Thelma. You all remember Thelma! She likes to hop the fence and come over to visit Bentley. Unfortunately, Bentley does not welcome her visits!!



Hi girls! Are you coming over to say hi??



Show us around your free range territory ...



You have lots of treats to snack on and you have ....



Your own drinking fountain too!!



These girls are so happy in their backyard!!



Bye girls! Thanks for a lovely visit!! Now the rest of you girls be sure to stop by and visit Barn Chick Karen at Brayton Homestead Interiors. Hopefully Hurricane Earl decides to leave her corner of Massachusetts alone. Please stop by and visit Cindy at My Romantic Home for Show and Tell Friday too!

Hi Bentley. I just visited Thelma and I think she would love to visit with you again. Do you think that you could welcome her and not chase her??? Bentley??? He is ignoring me.

Love,
Susan and Bentley

  1. Barn chicks even without a barn are good fun! I have been bathing my chickens lately in preparation for a chicken show.I don't have a barn either, just a few coops for my beloved chicks. Thanks for taking me along to visit.

  16. Those certainly look like some happy and plucky girls there. I'm glad Bentley isn't chasing them around the yard there. You must have left him behind closed doors at home.
