Cluck Cluck

Feather Site

So if you've read my past posts, you know that I really like cows, especially dairy cows, and specificially showing dairy cows.
However, I am actually more obsessed with chickens. It's true! You can throw eggs, because I realize that's about as odd as being obsessed with children's clothes (oops! Got me there too! Throw some Gymboree coupons at me! LOL)
I've always enjoyed walking through the poultry barns and checking out the various types of chickens. Growing up, we always had a few running around and we enjoyed finding their eggs, either in their brooding boxes, or when they got out, wherever they felt like laying on the farm! Well, one year I decided I would take a Fancy Poultry project because, you know, nothing about me isn't fancy.  My dad purchased me some chickens, I entered them into the fair and they did really well. They were great New Hampshire Reds, and laid delicious eggs! They did die a few years later, due to old age, but they were beloved at the time.

Plymouth Barred Rock
My sister is actually crocheting a clutch for me, affectionately known as a "cluck clutch" I cannot wait for this little baby! I'll wear a beautiful, little black dress and use my chicken purse to hold my lip gloss and cell phone. Perfect!
Mine will look much like the picture shown, but I'm going to pay her to make one to resemble my most favorite breed, the Plymouth Barred Rock. Can.Not.Wait.
