The Licorice Ladies

Recently, an internet friend, brought my attention to a new and very interesting breed of chickens. Once I heard of them, I knew immediately that they belonged in my little Warm and Sunny hen house. The hens have a certain elegance about them, yet they are extremely friendly with the other more basic hens and chicks that I have. I contribute their friendliness to the fact that they actually like to nibble on bits of black licorice throughout the day.

Oilcloth

In the summer, I like to keep a cute tablecloth on my outside table. It just seems to make the deck appear more inviting, and a fun place to spend some time. In years past I have always kept a cloth tablecloth on it; but this year I decided to go with oilcloth. And when I found that oilcloth comes with polka dots, red in particular, that was hands down my first choice. In fact I like it so much, I have decided to carry oilcloth in my Etsy shop. The listings are for one yard cuts, but I will cut a piece to any size.

Little Yellow Chicks

I have recently been recovering from a bout of the flu. So you can imagine my surprise to find that there has been non-stop activity in the hen house during my down time. You may remember this little hen sitting so patiently atop her cute little brown eggs:

Well, just look at her little chicks that are the reward for all of that patience:

Here are a couple of proud hens holding up one of the newly hatched chicks for all to see:

And of course the unique tail feathers of this particular breed are always a delight:

As the little chicks get stronger, they will be finding their way over to Warm and Sunny, my Etsy shop. Until then, all of the little chicks are getting to know one another, and enjoying their time together immensely.

Warm and Sunny

My little funny chickens have been very busy recently, and have now found the way to their very own Etsy shop entitled "Warm and Sunny". As you can see from this photo, they are very excited about this new adventure.

Several of the hens have even been sitting on their eggs looking forward to the little chicks that will be hatching soon.

So if you happen to be in the Etsy neighborhood, please stop by for a visit and say hi.
