I Miss My Chickens!
I used to keep Buff Orpingtons for fresh eggs. They are sweet-tempered, heavy breed chickens and make great friends. (Except for the roosters! They can be mean and nasty so never turn your back on one!) I kept one rooster so my hens could raise some chicks. I had to sell my lovely chickens when I moved and couldn't keep them in my new place. If I ever get another situation where I can raise more Orpingtons, I will do so in a New York second.
For now, I get my fresh eggs from a homesteader down the road from me here in New Mexico.
Have a fabulously wonderful day today on our gorgeous planet Earth!
Liberty 😀 Peace ☮️ Love ❤️

thats a sweet painting, I support your chicken love.
But the real question is which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Didn't know chickens have sweet temper, i thought they have wild and hot heart.
I don't understand how you painted them so real. When i try to draw them they look like crocodiles :((

Thanks @yaan for your comment, upvote, and continued support of my blog! It is much appreciated by yours truly. The secret is training in drawing. All painting is drawing with a brush. Keep learning and practicing to draw accurately and your crocs will magically turn into poultry! 😂 You would be absolutely flabbergasted at how long and hard I've practiced my craft.

Beautiful work as always, Chess! Also, I don't think I've ever heard of a single Rooster being nice, lol. They always are nasty little guys apparently.

What an absolutely beautiful painting! I love the warmth and softness of it.
Years ago, I had hatched in an incubator three chicks. I named them Peep, Chirp, and Quack (I got those names from a cartoon that I watched when I was little) But when they got big I had to find a new home for them, and that was a sad time.

I like that painting very much... brings to mind early 20th century northern European art (I'm Danish by birth); nice light.
Funny ("strange," not "ha-ha"), my wife and I were just talking about missing our chickens. We actually bought our house because it had a built-in chicken coop... we had eight lovely Rhode Island Reds for nine months... UNTIL the neighborhood association suddenly came along and legislated "no livestock." Miss the fresh eggs...

Thank you so much @reddragonfly ! So sorry about your chickens and that situation.
Once upon a time, it was common to keep chickens for survival, even in towns and cities. It seems to me that modern society forgets things like that, and that's a shame and very risky. Our ancestors had skills and practices that have largely been lost: canning food, butchering animals, growing gardens, hunting, collecting wild food, making their own clothes, etc. People today are spoiled and if they ever had to survive without their Walmarts, they wouldn't know how. They don't know just how close they are to losing their lifeline, should something happen to interrupt the flow of products in the current just-in-time supply chain.

Thanks! I feel blessed to have grown up with parents who were into growing their own food-- not because they were part of any particular "movement," but because it made sense, and they liked fresh food.
Ironically, we live outside the local city limits... were we IN the city, we would be able to have up to seven chickens (no roosters!). Go figure... the official reason was that chicken feed attracts rats. Oh? And your backyard bird feeders don't?

Government idiots are always thinking up whatever stupidity they can.
I grew up on an Iowa farm in the 50s and 60s. Garden fresh vegetables and fruit, farm fresh eggs and other food. So, I know what you were exposed to. Great, wasn't it?

@hamzaoui want some advice? Don't spam the comment sections of bloggers on Steemit. It's not nice. You didn't upvote me as you said you did, and I see that you copy and pasted this same comment on multiple blogs. Do it again and you will be flagged. On second thought, you deserve to be flagged now.
