A Speckled Cow and a Tan Hen October 8, 2025


Usually, when we think of speckled barn animals, we first imagine a speckled hen. Speckled hens have white dots or splotches caused by white feather tips. The Speckled Sussex is the most well known speckled hen. You can see pictures and read about them at the All About the Speckled Sussex Chicken webpage.

I did see some really cute chicks with their Momma and their chicken house. These chickens have high level condos that are made from scrap boards. They look like a piece of weird art instead of chicken houses. I will be honest. I had to ask what they were.

Now to the Speckled Cow. I have not see a Speckled Cow before. It was so beautiful. I could not stop looking at her. The farmer said she was born with spots and they never went away. She looks like a constellation or the night sky. At first, I thought it was the sun coming through the palm oil trees. No she is just naturally beautiful!!!!

Finally, I got to feed the goats!!! My sisters and I gave my Dad goats for Christmas years ago. One of my BEST Christmas memories!! Turns out feeding the goats is a lot like feeding the cows.

The Farmer asked Deni for his cellphone number. When the Farmer returned with his phone, we could not tell what it was. It looks like a walkie talkie. On the top of the phone, where you see the circles are LED lights. Never seen a phone like it.
