Loving caretaker to four amazing hens: Gloria the bard rock, Roxy the amerucauna,Stella the speckled sussex,and last but not least Luna some sort of cross between a Columbian wyandotte and an I-dunno-what.  I live in the city and need to move, chicken math is growing on me!

WHO KNEW?!ep

In nature life comes only from life and that of its own kind. Man has never witnessed mindlessness bring forth intelligence. He's never seen something come from nothing.

Yes they do!!!   Just last week, I had one of my favorite bantam white rocks, Rose do this.   I was probably 5 minutes to late.   When I walked into the kitchen, I noticed that the pool had been disturbed, and saw my little girl, face down, floating in the pool!!   Let me tell you, I was devastated.  hit  She always had a thing with floating things in the pool.    Everyone, please be careful of your birds around water, they CAN'T swim!   Although the pictures are adorable, I'm glad they had people there holding them.    Like its always said, "Don't do this at home"
