Getting the flock out of here - a diary of a crazy chicken man

[room onthebroom]

This is a captivating read. I'm not supposed to be sitting here idly reading right now. I'm supposed to be acting like a productive adult & doing productive adult stuff. I cant wait to get back here & find out what happens next!

Here I am again.

Our drive to Banff was extraordinary. The Canadian Rockies are amazing.

We also saw elk, white tail deer, moose,bighorn sheep and beaver.

Inday is now shopping up a storm. I am back at work.

Our egg counts are on the rise and suddenly we have quail laying.

Quail?! After all these years the quail are finally laying! I remember the original quail tales of woe.

How many animals are pregnant?
Are you bringing over eggs on your next visit?
