This last one demonstrates that even a “cool” 15-year-old boy falls in love with a newborn chick! Of course, it doesn’t help much when it’s time to clean the coop!

  1. My vote is for #9. A young boy needs to have a good friend and the chicken doesn't seem to mind being hauled around. LOL Too cute!

  33. Number 12, that's brave to wear a chicken. Seeing I got crapped on by a bird last summer at a amusement park.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Number 12, I was crapped on last year by a bird flying by. I wouldn't do this.

    ReplyDelete

    I don't think #13 should be allowed!

    ReplyDelete
  39. #15 love the WHO ARE YOU look on his face..

    ReplyDelete
  40. I vote for # 12. That's my wife holding up that darling little chick. Way to go chickie !

    ReplyDelete
  41. #8 is my favorite - the girls can be the best moms
    If we get to vote for more than one #5 is the best broiler photo that I've ever seen as these are the ugliest birds to be had. By their 8th week we are so ready for them to be in picture #2 (on the BBQ) which is my last vote as it made me laugh. Thanks for posting the great chick flicks.

    ReplyDelete
  42. #9 - Especially the last picture. That little boy is so cute. You can tell he really loves his animals!

    ReplyDelete
  43. I vote for #10 by Cloe. I like the perspective it gives - the chicken in their element with the delightful touch on the gateway to their domain. This photo give an idea and feel for the expansiveness of the chickens' yard. At the same time when I look at it, it makes me think and feel that although the pair of chickens standing somewhat close to each other may not be thinking of it or may be thinking/ deliberating still about it, - the chicken up front (in the foreground) has definitely MADE UP ITS MIND. AND it's just gauging the distance to the gate before it makes a run for it.
    WELL DONE CLOE!!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Nice photo Cloe! Good work! You've got my vote!

    ReplyDelete
  45. I vote for Cloe. #10 all the way!!

    ReplyDelete
  46. I like number 10 by Cloe. I think it's great that she could just pull off the side of the road and take that picture.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I vote for Cloe #10 WOOOHOOOO!!!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Cloe's picture is the best!! I vote for #10.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I vote for Cloe's entry (#10) because it's fun to be 8 with a camera phone on the side of the road.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I'm voting for my sister, #1!! Cute rooster!!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  52. Number 5 by Katie!!

    ReplyDelete

  56. My vote is for #23! Beautiful lighting, and the rooster's fantastic!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Boy this was hard......I have to choose between my daughter's photos... but I vote for #1 since he's such a nutty looking boy and I know hard Becky worked to get that picture. I also love Katie's #5 because of the indignant look of the soon to be dinner fella! Great pics all!

    ReplyDelete
  58. I like #5, looks like she's had a rough day, I feel like she looks sometimes.

    ReplyDelete

  60. OMG! They are all sooo adorable! But I kind of like number 5; the scraggly looking guy, he's funny lookin'

    ReplyDelete
  61. I had a tough time between numbers 1 and 5! I thought they were both hilarious! #5 gets my vote, but just barely, because of the look on the chickens face. :-)
