Becca and her Baby

With her chicken essay titled "Why I love chicken butts" Becca easily slid into place as the newest member of Lucky Cluck Farm. Writing a compelling and thoughtful essay was the easy part but picking a chicken from the flock of little girls awaiting adoption was a bit harder, or so I thought. One look at the silkie's butt and Becca was hooked. The two spent some quality time together and then had a mini photo shoot on a lovely spring day. But the photo shoot was not complete until the chair of the Lucky Cluck welcoming committee and its nosiest chicken, Beatriz, came by to say hello. Welcome to Lucky Cluck Becca!

Big Winner!

The big winner of our second Lucky Cluck Farms essay contest is Becca Schiewe, of the Oregon Schiewes. She is shown here in the center, sharing a rooster with her friends. Even though this year's contest featured a wonderful array of creative, engaging essays, Becca's sincere, direct and heart-felt expression of chicken love shined through as the favorite. The winner, of course, becomes a member and gets a chicken of her very own.

Up and Coming

I have to agree, the Silkie is one fine little chick - good luck saying no to that one, Becca (by the way, congratulations on getting in!) Her cotton-puff tail is irresistable. Of course, her flockmates have their share of attitude and looks. But, no matter the charms of the younglings, the old birds can't be outdone.
