Oh how cute! What a well-behaved rooster Chickadee is. He does look quite striking in your pearls. :o And how cool that you have chickens! I love animals of all kinds, but we've only ever had cats, dogs & turtles. It's hard to see the white pearls on my cat, Ophelia, as she is all white. But...

I wondered about the durability too, whether the paint might wear off quickly if you got wet or sweated (or are unlucky enough to have acidic skin). So beautiful, though!
