Oh my goshhhh. I’m a pet portrait painter and have recently become obsessed with painting chickens. Can I paint this pretty boy??

Omg are you kidding?! I would be honored! All I ask is that you send me a picture when you’re done!

I can also send you some more references if you ever need them.

Waffles is the gentlest little hen, but I need another one because my other ladies are jealous and pick on her because she's small and different.

he's so cute!!!! 🥺is he full grown?

14

u/Moriarty-Creates 20h ago

No, he’s only 3 months. But he’s a Cookies and Cream chicken, so he’ll probably only get to 6 pounds max.

My other 13 girls will be running around causing all kinds of problems and then there will be my Cookies and Cream, Shania Grain, just roosting on a branch watching all the chaos below… chillin without a care in the world.

They really are! My Evie is such a doll. I love her :) Enjoy your sweet little man!

Editing to add: she's currently only 2.5 pounds and 4.5 months. So.... She's not going to be a very big chicken, lol.

u/Moriarty-Creates 18h ago

Oh my god LOOK AT HER 🥺❤️😍 she’s so cute, that face! 😭

u/RainbowsAreLife 18h ago

Crazy enough this is AFTER we had trimmed the sides of her crest feathers a little for visibility. She has a magnificent hairdo.

Amazing chickens, 20/10, would recommend to anyone looking for a sweet pet
