Simon what a gorgeous and talented girl you are!!!

I don't think I've ever seen a chicken like you. I KNOW I've never met one who could paint. How thrilling that your painting is going to be sold on EBAY!!! I think you may have a career as an artist looming. I hope you are getting properly spoiled today. You certainly deserve to be.

Congratulations, sweetie, on being our special Pet of the Day!!!

Thank you all for the wonderful wishes you have sent Simon.

We are so pleased that our little bird will be able to help such a good cause that benefits children.

We started raising backyard chickens for eggs a year ago (we'll never eat any of our girls) and had no idea how much fun and joy they would bring into our lives. The chickens have provided us with great entertainment, have made wonderful pets for the kids, and provide us with eggs for breakfast.

We love Simon as well as all the girls in our flock.

Thanks again.

Hi Simon! I posted about your painting on here, and then almost missed this fine honor for you, ha haaa.

You certainly are a very special chicken, such a good ambassador for the chicken kingdom. How funny that you had some difficulties as the wee one in the group as a baby. Well, I'm sure you didn't think it funny at the time. But all that handling by Trevor must have helped you develop such a polite personality!

I was quite intrigued by your art work, which sounds like it was a family project! Good for you, keeping all of them involved. And I just love that you signed it in blue!

Have a wonderful time today, Simon! Such an honor for a gorgeous chicken, HAPPY PET OF THE DAY!!!

Thank you for all your kind wishes. We are very proud of Simon and what she has been able to do to raise money for our local playground. I'm sure that children will be talking about this little bird for years to come.

It's ironic that Simon started off with a rough start (from struggle comes wisdom) and that she is named after an amazing artist (she and her twin sister are named - wait for it - Simon and Garfunkel). My 6 kids have held a special place in their hearts for her and I'm sure that's one of the reasons why she is so well mannered.

The auction doesn't end for a few more days but no matter what the final bid is, we couldn't be prouder of our little artist.

Thank you all again for this wonderful honor.
