Our chicken girl

Hannah lets the chickens out in the morning. It's usually the first thing she does after breakfast. She also likes to bring the eggs in. Sometimes with or without help. She crawls through the door into the pen...then through the door into the hen house...and soon she comes to the house with the eggs. Usually it's three. And no, none are broke. How she does it, I'm not sure. But yes, she does smell like a chicken on a daily basis. And a wet chicken at bath time. :)

Kinda hard to see, but here she is going into the pen door. The next door is smaller :)

She packed this chicken around for quite a few days

Played with its beak and feet

It did get after her after a while. She had some scratches on her face from the beak. But she went back for more.

Same chicken, later in the day

Just like a mommy with a baby, the adoration on her face

How she got it to lay on the back, I don't know

Our little chicken girl

Thanks Dale and Marie for the chicks! Made Hannah very happy to have some that she could hold again, since the others are too big for her.

She can spend quite a bit of time each morning and afternoon outside with these critters. Enjoys walking around the pasture with them. Chasing them. Trying to catch them. It's been a while since I've seen her carry one, so they must have gotten wise to her and keep a safe distance :)
