Today Inktober had me sitting in the rain with pencil in hand as the sky darkened spending a delightful 20 minutes or so sketching the chickens of Callis Community Gardens. I worked until the page was too damp to draw on then ran home to dry off and ink. And drink tea, obviously. #inktoberprompts #inkandwater #inktober2018 #chicken #chickens #chickenpictures #energeticgrace #worms #wormpictures #autumn #fall #mushrooms #mushroompictures #fallenleaves #fabercastellpens #fabercastell #reservoirpen https://www.instagram.com/p/Bokaup_Bw3T/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=153rq00l1cqu1

LPT: put citrus peels down your garbage disposal when you clean the sink. The peels will help to clean the blades and the citrus oils will leave it smelling fresh and clean.

My grandmother taught me this. She always used oranges, but any citrus fruit works well. Every now and then she would grind up the peel down the disposal, and I always remember the sink smelling a little like oranges.

Portrait of an Ameraucana Hen

This young hen has yet to lay an egg. However, her plumage is already coming in nicely, and is reminiscent of a raptor-like bird.

The chicks eagerly watch as mother shows them what to eat.

They must grow fast - it’s already getting cold.

Tail Feathers #6

Kind, gentle, friendly and curious. They work hard too; laying many large brown eggs. 

It is hard to find better hens than these.

New Life #1: Asia Black pullets (a type of Orpinton)

Despite their dark plumage, they should give a light brown, almost pink egg.
