Tales of the Chickens

Well the chickens are pretty much grown up now, they should begin to 

lay some time around February.

Good morning girls, come on out into the sunshine

are you hungry?

Time for some food and recreation.  

So much to do, house keeping of the yard and house.  LOL.

I wish I had more pictures to share with some of the stories 

I have to share.  

 This girl is Winny, she is a Winsummer breed, she is the biggest one.

  She was our free chick.  

Her cheeks are puffy, like lacy feathers.

The other hens are New Hampshires.  They are so pretty.

We got a new puppy a couple weeks ago, she loves 

to go in with the chickens and as you can see

no one is afraid of the other.  

Tricksey is part Jack Russell and part Doxie, 

she is about 3 months now.

Just a short story,

one morning this fall I was sitting in the chicken yard,

(I have a milk crate I sit on) 

visiting with the girls, watching them do their

chicken things, when all of a sudden one of the black

hens jumped up on my leg, she was talkin to me

moving close and then crossing over my arm, 

to my other leg and sat down, she stayed for about 5 minutes.  

Next day, I was in their house fixen their water, 

bent over and up she jumps on my back.

I stood up slowly as she backed up my back, 

yes, backed up.  She ended up on my shoulder.

where she decided to be a hairdresser.

I call her miss girl, she lets me pick her up

and I turn her on her beak (so to speak) to check for dirt feet.

then hold her to my chest where she tells me tales before settling in.

Well that is it for today.  

I am headed out to clear the dread flowers and weeds from 

Lady's grave and plant some wild flower seeds.

We are having warm weather right now getting up to about

40, so might as well take advantage of the

sunshine.

 God Bless.  Thank you for stoppin by
