My very own chicken whisperer!



This little girl can catch a chicken! How uncomfortable does this chicken look?!
 


Our Mimi has had chickens for about a year now. And of course, my animal loving Layton loves them. She especially loves when they lay eggs. She will sit and watch them while they are laying and the minute they come out, she runs in and gathers them. 
Over the course of the past several months, Layton’s chicken catching skills have improved! Dave told me a couple of weeks ago that she could catch them now but honestly I didn’t believe him. Now, I have seen her with my own eyes. As I was watching her, I was simply amazed by her motivation. She never gave up! I love the smile on her face in this picture; to me it shows pure happiness.
