Description
Three hens in black, white and speckled feathers, watercolor on paper, by Conni Schaftenaar
Our laying hens on our farm in West Michigan love scraps from veggies. These three ladies, a black and white speckled Barred Rock, a White Orpington, and an iridescent Black Giant, all dash for a lettuce leaf for lunch, fussing and fuming over who gets to have the most. Our current flock of layers are all blacks and whites, so I wanted to paint an image of each of the types. They're so pretty, especially the Black Giants with their beautiful iridescent feathers!

Hahahahaha, thanks, Sarah - I have fantasized about writing stories about the many, many animals I have encountered in our years of farming. Maybe you can be my editor!

Love this fabulous trio! They put a smile on my face, as does your description. If you were to write a book about your feathered friends, Conni, I'd enjoy every last word. Twice! 😁🐓L/F
