For today's Zooly "Chickens" prompt, I chose to draw a barred Plymouth rock because, well, they're FUN to draw! Can you find all the chicks? The Plymouth rock is one of my favorite breeds that I have in my flock. They're great egg-layers, laying around 200 brown eggs a year, but as a dual-purpose bred I also raise a few each year for meat. 100 years ago this was the most popular breed of chicken in the United States. While the exact origin of this breed is a bit contentious, genetic analysis shows the main ancestor of the Plymouth rock is the similarly barred Dominique. Ink pen with Copic markers.

GUYS THERE'S TWO OF THEM NOW

It’s chimkens in love !! 🐔💖🐓🌈🫶🏻✨

I went to count chickens & do final egg check around dusk, and it's been rainy all day so it was especially dim. So I'm putting my hands in nest boxes, and I feel. Not. Eggshell. Where it sure looked like Egg should be.

It turned out to be one of those shell-less eggs, just a hiccup in a hen's egg-construction system, something that happens sometimes. But that was unsettling to put my hand on, when I expected a very different feeling.

Fren Holy  informed me that Brahma chickens exist, then recommended me this. Cuccos have numbers, but these have SIZE and numbers.... and they sense weaknesssss

opinion on chickens (i say, already knowing the answer)

precious babies, adored and loved

Bitches don't want flowers, bitches want to be taken to Tractor Supply Co to pick out some lil babies together. It's me, I'm bitches.

astoria and all my birds are miserable in this heat bc they are all black, but popcorn, my one all-white pekin duck, is having the time of her life. well at least that's one of them? 😅😭 im sorry guys but i can't control the sun!! this is their first time experiencing summer bc they are Babby and i hope they adjust ok. frozen peas can only do so much im afraid 😔

astoria isn't even adhering herself to me like a second skin due to the heat, and she is a velcro cat—that is her FAVORITE thing to do fjfklekd omg its so hot 😭😭😭

This chicken cured my art block. She deserves to become a sticker
