The Clouses’ devotion to chickens goes beyond rescuing individual birds. They are determined to get chickens off people’s plates and into their laps. They advocate a plant-based diet (for people – chickens are omnivores) with no eggs and no chickens.
“Chickens are warm and silky and nice to hold,” said Mary. “They are companion animals, not food.”
And they are fabulous as the subject of watercolor and oil paintings. A common theme of Japanese hand-painted scrolls are the beauty of chicken families. I hope to get back to painting them some day. They were a wild bird like pheasants – and their feathers are phenomenal – if kept on THEIR bodies!
