chickens in the tall grass on a summer day

Pictures from last summer:

Rachel in the background, Rachel's dad Gray Ghost & Parthenia Jones (née Chickini) in the foreground. Gray Ghost's mom was either Gwen or Rock Dove. Rock Dove was later known as Kindergarten Queen because she was tiny as a kindergartener herself (really not bigger than a pigeon) and because she helped raise a brood of 18 babies that all hatched out on the same day.

Parthenia Jones is the remaining one of the original 7. Her siblings were the hens Princess and Tess and the roosters Coco, Petunia, Rockstar and Star. Star actually passed on last Sunday, he was the sweetest doll of a rooster and hopefully I can post pictures of him someday if I track down some old pictures. Wish I had taken more of him.

Chickens love tomatoes. How much, I can't even begin to say. Toast and avocado, well they'll eat that too, thank you very much.
