A Wonderfully Boring...But Nice Blog Post

We are down to three

sweet hens.

The golden one, Mabel, continues to thrive.

She made it through another Winter!

Now that Spring is here she calls out to me to bring her freshly pulled

grass.  Once upon a time they used to fear grass falling from above as I pushed

it through the chicken wire.

No more.

Now they eagerly wait for it and gobble it up.

I can no longer open the door and give them their grass in a nicer, more orderly way because 

of the foxes and raccoon  that attempted to get the chickens.

There is now additional chicken wire blocking the door.

But better safe than sorry.

Each Spring there is a temptation to add chicks, 

especially when at the post office you can hear chicks peeping

from other shipments.

However, for now we are just going to enjoy these girls and then 

are most likely done with our time as chicken farmers.

It has been a decade long run....and we have enjoyed much of it.

Should the need arise to have them again we know what to do and would do it in a 

heartbeat.  I love fresh eggs from our own chickens.
