Who needs a goat when you have a chicken?

[psrumors]

So we took in this lovely lady (black star) about two weeks ago. After getting aclimated to her new enviroment, she is hard at work. She lays HUGE eggs, much bigger than even the xtra large eggs found at the grocery store. She lays an egg a day for 3 days then takes a day's break.

Plan was to get a goat or two to keep the fence lines clean. But after a half day of this little lady's work I doubt we will need too. She started about noon coming right up on the fence line and taking it to bare dirt. There is about 100 feet of this. We hope to pick up a few more this weekend if I can get the coop finished. I hope a few more will follow her lead.

Ps, the wire is not hot and will be removed and sorry about the picture quality it was with the phone

We just enlarged our coop around a tree that had weeds at the base. The next morning the weeds were gone.

That's just too cute for words. Here's hoping that you can get a dozen more just like her.

My girls eat the weeds that grow in the cracks of the pavement.

Too bad I can't take the work crew to the front yard!!
