Strange birds...

My husband will tell you hates horses. HATES them. Yet he pretty much insisted I buy a horse, and now he and Chanel are pals.

She follows him like a big puppy. If he stops short,she nearly smacks into him.

And then there is Luna goat. People think it is a little mean to put a goat on a milking stand, but here is Luna, waiting hopefully for milking time.

And here is the strangest bird of all. In the fall, chickens molt. That means they shed their old feathers and grow in beautiful, bright new ones. In most cases they lose a few feathers, and before you notice it, new ones are in their place. But once in a while a bird goes through a "hard molt." In this case, I literally saw it happen. The bird came out of the coop, shook hard and POOF! like a cartoon chicken she was suddenly naked!

The good news is that new feathers are already growing in. But she does look awfully strange!
