The Illustrious Chicken

I forgot to add this photo to the previous post (I'm still learning). These were some of our chickens at the farm during 2007. The white one in the upper middle is "Ruffles Puffles Muffles Cuffles." (Can you guess who named her?) She liked to climb onto our porch (with her friends) and sit in a cushioned chair to lay her eggs. The egg in my first daily painting was one of hers (and was later incorporated into a chocolate chip cookie dough batter).
