 My neighbor came over the other day to let me know that one of my girls snuck out. She chuckled when I asked if it was Nissan again, she’s my usual offender. She has chickens too but doesn’t name them and is always amused when she sees me with them. We went to the front yard and what do ya know, Nissan was walking up the driveway and stopped dead in her tracks when she saw us. Forgetting that we weren’t alone, I told Nissan what a naughty bird she was and that she better get back to her sisters or no more worm hunting for a week. My friend just laughed and told Nissan she better listen to her mom.

I never thought I would ask the guy in produce if I could have the scraps from the vegetables he was cutting. I was in my local grocery store one day and saw a guy snipping off ripped leafs and pulling out the dented and “not so perfect” food. I told him about my chickens and asked if he would mind saving all his “garbage” for me and I would pick it up before they closed, He had to ask his manager first but he didn’t see why I couldn’t have it. We’re in a really small town and the manager was super friendly and thought it’s a great idea. Now my girls are eating like queens with all the fresh fruit and veggies they could ever want.

.....don't forget "bator"!

I am going to be late for work but I have to tend the chickens before I go.

To boss: Tell Michele (his wife) that I posted pics of the chicks for her to see.

we are out of feed can we scrounge something til I can get more tomorrow?

Papi stop barking at them, their going to get your nose!

You'll never guess what my chickens did ....

"And when I got home last night, they had unscrewed the light bulb from the brooder..."

"My chickens mobbed me"

"My chickens only love me for my treats"
