The hen named Dot, went on to became a spoiled happy feather child, enjoying her human house (as seen in the photo) as well as her chicken cottage outside. She joined five other happy hens and one very good looking ROOSTER.

to all winners, finalists, participants.
Such a simple theme and so many creative interpretations!

Special congrats to NCarolinawoman. I think this was her first entry ever and she came in third!
I hope you keep them coming. Your entry was a real favorite of mine.

I enjoyed all of the photos, going back to the preliminaries. "Cold Start" (frost on the window), really grabbed my attention. So many others. It really is true that it is difficult to choose!

you forgot to temper that with some sort of "happy" icon.
The intention was timely and appreciated. The co-incidence was missed by a probably tired host.
Running a contest is lots of hard and involved work.

The first one I did put hair on my chest.
After that, I realized, they are putting hairs on my face.

I went and looked at that progression again - and I am - honestly - laughing my butt off.
