Farm Girl

Here is our farm girl helping with her chores. She takes the job very seriously. Feeding the chickens by hand is one of her favorite things. It's usually a job she does with Papa after work (now that it is light out when he gets home! Hooray for light!) Our last batch of chickens were pretty wild but these 4 are so gentle and tame. They roam the yard for most of the day and are often on the back porch looking in. Sometimes they peck on the door as if to say, "Let us in!" I knew I wanted Fiona to be able to hold and pet and hand feed these chickens so we handled them a lot from the time they arrived as little chicks. Success! They crouch down as soon as we walk up to them and they often follow us around the yard in a little chicken parade. I think Fiona is on her way to becoming quite the farm girl. Now we just need to find her a real farm. Until then our 4 chickens will have to do.

My favorite part of the video is the beginning where she instructs them to say cheese! "Say cheese body."
