Missy, the Hen

This is Missy, the newest addition to my menagerie in my Studio. She has the most gorgeous grey marbled feathers, and the cutest little hat on her head. From cross-Bantam-Silkie stock, she has the typical gentle nature of a Silkie but with a bit of that Bantam audacity!



She was sick for a couple of days, so I brought her inside to tend to her and now, after a full recovery, she has also chosen the studio as her second home, a place to come and rest for a while, and to lay her eggs under a table hosting some of my art equipment. 


She’s also very taken with Artemis, Kiep’s husband, and the three of them will spend hours together while he scratches up some tit-bits for them.

  Artemis keeping a watchful eye on all his hens (that’s Missy hiding there behind his tail feathers).
