These were taken a week ago, when Penny and Essie were leaving us and going to a 4H farm with a couple hundred chickens, many show birds.
They won't be show birds but somebody will get to enjoy their eggs. Above is me with Penny who posed for a few shots. Below is Essie who hates people and clawed up my hands just trying to hold her for this one picture.
How could I tell them apart? Their combs on top went in different directions. One thing I learned while being a chicken lady was that once those combs go over, they don't flop back-n-forth. They stay to one side.
I miss my girls but I do not miss my time having to clean up after their poops. I'm down to 10 remaining 'home' eggs in the frig.
