Today it's a snow day! Actually...and Ice Day! No school, no work, just boring inside stuff (as my 5 year old says).
Even the dogs are bored. I had to go outside and rescue Afro Chicken from the mouth of my blue-heeler mix dog. Apparently he was showing our toy shi-poodle how to hunt and gather - NOT COOL! After a thorough examination, we concluded Afro Chicken was not physically harmed, just a little mentally distraught.

| Meet Afro Chicken! |
So what is this crazy-haired, black, feathery bird that we call Afro Chicken (for self-explanatory reasons)? I think she's actually some version of a "Silkie" chicken. I'm sure if I'm wrong, someone will comment and let me know....but we really don't care what she is we LOVE her and treat her like family.
Afro Chicken is best friends with one of our ducks. She came to us as a baby chick accompanied by a duckling. She looked like any other baby chick. My mom is a teacher at an elementary school and one of the science classes hatched 2 eggs. When the school year came to an end, these two baby birds had to have a home, so my mom dumped them off at my house. Reluctantly, we kept them, fed them, and the duck grew up to be pretty white Aflac duck. The chick grew up to be, well....Afro Chicken.
Afro chicken struts around like she owns that place and has even been featured in some of our photo shoots. So....keep an eye out for The Barn's "World-Famous" (or so we think) AFRO CHICKEN!

That would be a Polish chicken.
