So apparently Mommy has chickens on the brain! Not to suprising since we have 10 of them. 60% of them are laying (roughly) and they are all cute as a chicken button. Each chicken has it's own personality and even though they all look the same we can tell them apart. Most people couldn't tell that one chicken has a whiter "ear" than another but when you spend time with them and love them dearly like we do- you learn them and all their individual quirks. There is Henrietta the Houdini Hen- we wrote about her in the first blog, who does the duck and run routine every chance she gets. There is Delores who is the SWEETIE and who loves Austin and follows him around. The other ones are fun too except for the crazy one- she that is not named. She is an evil chickeny soul who makes you chase her until you feel like giving up. Then she must sense the defeat because she finally gives in. The most fun thing about the chickens is dumping the water in the yard everyday. The goat house has a trough and outside there is a trough. When we dump the water the chickens run to get the worms and other bugs that pop to the surface. Bugs al a mud (and grass).
So Mommy has chickens on the brain so much that tonight that she drew one on a picture for Pa for 10 November. Pa and Austin laughed and we all agree that it's a bit goofy. (Austin actually thinks it looks more like Tweety than a chicken)
So tomorrow morning we will all have eggs!
Viva las Chickens!
