Achara would like to point out that I did not post HER photo earlier this week when I posted the other two. And she's everyone's favorite dog! We call her Roomba as she's partial to licking the floor but she is a sweet girl. #dogsofinstagram #dogswithjobs #lgd #poultrykeeper #roomba #dogs #akbashmix #imagooddog https://www.instagram.com/p/CNbbvdFnD7V/?igshid=721jcmh1lgrs

Meet Lena, one of our beautiful Ameraucana pullets. She has a striking plumage and pose, deserving of being named after the strikingly beautiful singer and actress, Lena Horne! She will soon begin to lay and then be a full fledged "laying hen". Her eggs will have a light blue or green tint. #ameraucanachickens #pullets #friendlyfowl #chicken #hens #tintedeggs #plumage #feathers #chickensoninstagram #sthelenaislandsc #beaufortcountysc #gullahfamily #gullahfarmers #poultrykeeper #poultry #prettychicken #veteranfarmer #womenfarmers #livestockphotography #livestock #birdphotography (at Saint Helena Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnNOw-Jlkhu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jwion09rnr74

Just a day on the ole homestead. Chickens strolling around, checking out the tractor, pecking for goodies. The new azaleas blossomed this year! @amjones42 #chickens #hens #roosters #friendlyfowl #poultrykeeper #poultry #tractor #kubota #azaelea #spring #homestead #fowl #smallfarm #veteranfarmer #womenfarmers #palmettostate #palmettoislandgirl #gullahfamily #gullahgeechee #gullahfarmer #animalphotography #plantphotography #ruralphotography #ruralliving #southerliving #lifeinthecountry #countrylife #chickensoninstagram #outside (at Saint Helena Island)

Mother hen with her biddies in tow. She is turning out to be a good mom. We have a mixture of eggs in our incubators and only one of the chicken eggs hatched yesterday,it is only two days younger than mother hen’s chicks. She would have had three but lost one and we wonder if she would accept the one chick now in the brooder as hers. Another hen we had a few years ago had a chick that escaped the brooder and when we found and returned it to her she wouldn’t accept it. It’s a delicate process but worth a try especially if no other chicken eggs in the incubator hatch. #farmer #sclowcountry #farmfamily #poultry #poultrykeeper #chickens #chickensofinstagram #hen #biddies #babychicks #babychicksofinstagram #motherhen #motherhens #farmanimals #animalhusbandry #4hfamily #homesteadfarm #veteranfarmer #gullahfarmer #gullahgeechee #smallscalefarming #scfarm #incubator #hatchingchicks (at Saint Helena Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/BypHB7GAJXd/?igshid=370zm8aneibl

Watching the birds and the bees here on the homestead. The ducks and chickens gather near the beehive in the cool of the afternoon. The turkeys were nearby also. #beehives #bees #apiary #beesofinstagram #poultrykeeper #poultry #chickensoninstagram #chickens #ducksofinstagram #ducks #waterfowl #friendlyfowl #homestead #livestock #birdsofafeather #flocks #farmanimals #beaufortcountysc #sthelenaislandsc #womeninagriculture #veteranfarmer (at Saint Helena Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnxIqsuFmBy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=grdooildetmb

Meet our Speckled Sussex pullet, we're calling her Eartha, after the great singer, and actress from the town of North, South Carolina, Eartha Kitt. Sussex chicken breeds are from England. Eartha has a beautiful plumage filled with spots and specks. She will begin laying brown shelled eggs every soon. #speckledsussex #earthakitt #chicken #chickenbreed #poultrykeeper #poultry #friendlyfowl #fowl #fowler #pullets #chickensoninstagram #chickenphotography #birds #birdsofinstagram #plumage #eggs #sthelenaislandsc #beaufortcountysc #veteranfarmer #womeninagriculture #livestock #livestockphotography #farmanimals (at Saint Helena Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnpAnHklj74/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18xxvokzgoqsd

It's dusk, time to make sure the friendly fowl go in for the night. I spend a little time with them and this one #ameraucana decides to jump up and perch on my right shoulder. It really caught me by surprise, she's never done it before. She seemed pretty comfortable up there. @amjones42 #nightlyroutine #friendlyfowl #goodnight #poultrykeeper #poultry #chicken #fowl #fowler #chickensoninstagram #beaufortcountysc #sthelenaislandsc #chickenphotography #ilovechickens #friendlychicken #chickenlove #womenfarmers #livestock #animalphotography #animalhusbandry (at Saint Helena Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnZ4vv0FRO3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6baeoshbkecu
