Chicken update...

Our chickens are doing fantastic.  We have a total of 5 and named them:  Goosey Loosy, Henny Penny, Turkey Lurkey, Ducky Lucky and Foxy Loxy.  I have yet to figure out which is which, however my children all know exactly who is who, and get quite irratated with me when I call out the wrong name.  What can ya do??  As I shared before that my DH was not exactly excited about getting chickens (he is a major city boy), he is a little more on the wagon now b/c he has found out that you can sell a dozen "organic" eggs for $5.00 at the farmers market!!  I did not even know this!  Anyhow, we are having a great time with our chickens!  I will try to get some more pictures of them and their "chicken castle".

Blessings, Rossie

I have to say that I too love my girls. I started out with 15 and I'm down to 10. I lost a couple when they were still chicks and lost a few due to them flying over the fence and something getting to them. I woke up not long ago to a backyard full of feathers and no hen.
Anyway I get 5 to 9 eggs a day, which is such a blessing with all the baking I'm doing rigth now. Then my ds and dd who live on thier own, take a dozen every week. So they are a blessing to many.
Have a great day, R
