I haven’t photographed our chickens in a long time.  Probably because they’re molting and they’re the ugliest things I’ve ever seen.  The two I shot today earned the best looking awards.  The others just flashed me their bare butts.  Seriously, their butts are bare.  And it’s snowy outside.  But ducks, now they’re always cute.  We let them in the garden during the winter and spring in hopes they eat every slug they can find.  I can’t wait for spring and to start working in the garden again.
