The Chickens

In this photo I am holding Magnificent, the Buff Brahman.  He was very hard to catch.  Photo by Araya
I'm a boy who lives on a one acre farm.  I love photography, chickens and gardening.  This blog is all about the person behind the person camera at Heavenly Light Photography.


Magnificent and Elsie pecking at some delicious sunflower seeds.
Chickens.

I have 7 hens and 4 roosters divided among five breeds.  I have 2 Barred Rocks, Henrietta, and Josephine; 2 Cuckoo Marans, John (the head Roo), and Lynae (the lowest ranking hen); 2 Buff Brahmans, Magnifficant (the largest Roo) and Cluck Cluck (my favorite hen); 2 Araucana, Elianna (with puffy white cheeks) and Elsie (named after the lady who gave them to me;) and 3 assorted breeds of Bantums, Tobin (a black, very cocky Roo), Sweet Song (hen) and Licorice (rooster) (they are only about 3 months old and are very tame.  I got them the day they hatched.)


John, the Cuckoo Maran (grey and white) and Magnificant (the Buff Brahman)

Sweet Song (orange and black) and Licorice (black and white)

Sweet Song

John, about to peck the ground before he tries to spur me.  That's what he always does.  He thinks he is in charge, but he's wrong.  I'm the head Roo.

Sweet Song and Licorice out exploring, looking for delicious grubs.
