Madonna With Chickens

Thanks to Rooster Hill Farm for pointing out this fabulous photo of Madonna with her hens, which was published in Vogue this summer.

It's been making the rounds of the chickens blogs--us hen farmers are all pretty amused at the sight of her in her chiffon-and-cashmere ensemble. If our little Bess was there, she'd jump right up on Madonna's shoulder and run a strand of hair through her beak to see it's a worm. Think she'd keep smiling?

In case it's been a few too many months since you've had baby chicks around and you're wishing you had a few more (and we're not talking about anybody I know here), do check out Rooster Hill's poultry pages. They've got chicks hatching right now. It's nice to know there are baby chicks out there somewhere.

Sniff.

And don't miss the Barbeque Chicken photo. It's not what you think.
