A cold, rainy day enticed me to break through one of my mental blocks and go visit with our fans on facebook. 

I'd been meaning to run a no-holds-barred chicken photo contest, and this seemed like the way to do it.  A cool app makes it possible for anyone to upload images and vote on the results --- you just have to become a fan of Avian Aqua Miser first.

The photo deadline is next Monday and voting ends a week from Friday.  The winner gets a free chicken waterer.  (More details on the contest page.)

Even if you don't have chickens, you'll probably enjoy perusing the entries and voting on your favorite.  And if you need another rainy day activity, I've set Weekend Homesteader: January (which includes an introduction to chickens, along with bread baking, soil testing, and emergency lighting) free on Amazon today.  Happy October!
