The girls had so much fun playing with them. One of the chicks was a rooster and he was very protected of his hens to where the girls couldn't play with the chickens anymore. Roosters can be fun but also mean, eventually the girls wouldn't play outside anymore because of the rooster so we found a new home for the rooster. Fast forward, we are retiring soon and will have chickens again. We enjoy having them roam around and it was like an Easter egg hunt every day. We did gather them up into the coop for the evening. They are a lot of fun.

I really missed the eggs when he passed away and my mom got rid of the chickens. My husband decided awhile back that we needed chickens. In the city we can only have three. They all have personalities and have been named. The one disadvantage to having chickens is we always have to be home by dark to lock them in. The one night we did not get home by dark we lost Bumblebee to a Racoon. We did replace her but Blackie is just not the same as the little chick that the grandkids picked out. Now I, like my father before me, sit around and read chicken books to try and figure out if we are doing the right things. I have not however started raising meal worms for them.

M...Love your boots! Those surely will not get lost.<br />My son and family have chickens in the backyard at their fancy shmancy Walnut Creek CA address. My grandma had a farm and raised chickens. I really never got into all that. At least you will know where your eggs have been. I saw a magazine at my grocery store for chicken growers. You might get some info. from that front.... there's always Google. Have fun.<br />HugsTerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08927552672720816359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217778911642814493.post-49545003558060344762015-03-17T12:14:43.313-04:002015-03-17T12:14:43.313-04:00How much fun that will be!!!
