Artist Sharon Lee Hart’s “Sanctuary” exhibition features residents of farm animal sanctuaries, including some cool roosters. I’m not usually impressed by animal portraits, they can be cheesy. Hart captures the personalities of these animals in interesting, beautiful photographs. I wish she would photograph my flock!

The exhibit will be on view through March 4, 2012. You can see her photos at farmanimalsanctuaryproject.com.

When my late chicken Babette was attacked by a hawk, she did live in the house for a month or so. On the dining room table. But I did keep her in a cage! A nice cage, with lots of fresh food, water, company, and Neosporin for her wounds. Anyway, check this out, I can order custom-sized chicken diapers at ChickenDiapers.com! This makes me very happy. Most of their photo examples are silkie bantams. I have big girls now, Brahmas. If you have no frame of reference, it’s like comparing a Great Pyrenees to a Westie.

I plan to measure my chickens tomorrow and order a full set asap. Photos to come soon.

CSA is an acronym for Community Supported Agriculture. Basically, we “buy in” to the Delvin’s farm in exchange for an incredible box of veggies each week. This week’s farm newsletter featured their chicken tractor. You see 110 chicks inside, fertilizing the orchard. If you’re considering a using a tractor with chicks, be sure it is very warm outside, consistently. Chicks cannot keep themselves warm until their feathers grow in. If they get chilled, especially in conjunction with a cold rain or dew, they will die. Chicks need a mom chicken to sit under, or a heat lamp that gives them access to a 95 degree spot plus an area to cool down. It’s warm enough now that the Delvin birds should be just fine outside in their tractor.

If I come back in another life as an animal, I want to be one of her pets. Or one of Michele’s cats. Check out her coop (in progress):
