Description

My two year old is our resident chicken wrangler. He loves them, and has figured out the best way to catch them, and does so almost every time he tries. Here is he hugging "Cupcake" the hen, one of his favorites.

Thanks for looking!

Oh my goodness, Michele -- had to call my husband over to share this one. How adorable. I can't even get close enough to get a picture of a hen, much less hug one. Love his grin! #9798297

Oh my gosh, Michele, this is just adorable! I can't believe he can catch the hen, let alone get it to say still while he hugs it. Beautiful smile...such a wonderful image!
PS: I had two pet hens: Henny & Penny. Finally gave them to a neighbor with a rooster :)) #9825546
