of raising chicks just for all the photographic possibilities.
And that would be completely fair. I think it was this photo last fall that got my gears spinning:
no worries neighbors– we’re not getting a rooster
and Gabe’s birthday photos sealed the deal.
But I don’t just love them for their looks. We’ve found ourselves in the midst of a growing trend of urban chickens. One friend after another has confessed their interest in hens’ cheery personalities, gardening prowess and delectable fresh eggs. Have you ever tasted the difference between a fresh egg and store-bought? It’s like the difference between grocery tomatoes and straight off the vine.
Ah, who am I kidding? Who cares about bug-free gardens and omelettes? It’s all about the cute factor. 😉

Hopefully the chicks will be more tolerant of little Miss Mary than the kitty…

WOW~ gorgeous photos! Every single one of them. You just made my day. ;o) Peep.

You’re right. The pics with chicks are incredibly cute! And that photo under the apple tree is simply amazing.
=)
Claudia
Oh my cuteness! Where did do you take these?
Tracy
Oh.my.word. Now I want chickens. Stop it.

Adorable pictures! I can’t decide which is cuter, the chicks or sweet Mary.
Linkous
we can’t wait to come see those little chicks and all of you!

It doesn’t seem strange to me at all to enjoy the photographic possibilities of the cute little fluffballs. Thanks to their cuteness, I have already looked into getting some of my own.

I think you are single-handedly making chick lovers of us all. We have two families in our neighborhood with coops. You’re right – this is a surprising urban trend. But no one could capture the cuteness like this! Great photos! Thank you!

post script – Michelle – I need a photographer to do a simple head shot. Are you doing work like that right now? If not, do you know someone I could hire? I think I live fairly close to you – just by Olympus HS. Feel free to comment on my blog or email me at ckunderscorearvesethatyahoodotcom. Thank you!
