Verde Farm Chicken Picks

Well, it’s that time again folks. It’s time for some chicken picking. Our feathered friends have certainly been busy this past week choosing our contest winners and picking their favorite blog posts for the week. I think they have some great posts to share, as well. I have to tell you, they amaze me with their interest and finds. Here are three posts from our farm friends the chicken branch wants to share.

Sunny D’Light’s Pick

Mourning Dove Cottage  is Donna’s blog, and she is quite the creative lady. Sunny was hooked when she saw Donna’s rooster tray on Mourning Dove’s latest post because she’s been missing her beau Edgar ever since the poor boy was chased from the chicken house by her and the other hens. Gang mentality, I guess. I don’t think she thought he would leave the house for good. So, when she laid eyes on the handsome fella depicted on Donna’s tray she had no other choice but to choose Donna’s blog as a sentimental chicken pick for this week. Donna paints all kinds of beautiful pictures, and can even do custom painting of your animals. I have to say, this was a great pick on Sunny’s part.

Charlotte’s Pick

As you may have noticed, Charlotte is quite the decorator. She longs for a beautiful, cottage coop to adorn with pretties and posies and perhaps a rusty item or two for balance. Well, she found The Unusually Unusual Farmchick this week who shared a post of the cutest coop you’ve ever seen. Like Charlotte, Tammie is a farmchick who likes to farm with style. She shares some amazing ideas to add vintage flair to any home, including the coop.

Plato’s Pick

Well, Plato has just about had it with this cold, snowy weather and now claims he wants to relocate to New Zealand. Yep, you heard me, he is actually considering flying the coop. He gets this way every winter, though. I know he’s not serious, but, if he ever did leave Verde Farm, I think we wouldn’t have any problem locating him--I would definitely begin my search for him at  Our Wee Farm. Laura lives in a beautiful part of the world and it’s no wonder Plato wants to fly away to this paradise. While he  shivers, shakes, and sometimes has to scratch in the snow for his cracked corn, Laura, at Our Wee Farm, has sunshine, flowers and veggies because it’s summer time in New Zealand An added plus for Plato are Laura’s donkeys. He has a soft spot for our donkeys, often catching a ride on their backs, so it was a no brainer he picked Our Wee Farm as his chicken pick. Plato chose well.

Well, that’s it for another edition of Verde Farm Chicken Picks. Go see what’s happening at these wonderful sites. The chickens are sure you will love them.
