You know you love your chickens when...

When you start wondering if one of those bug vaccuums would work for the beetles that come out at night to skitter all over the sidewalk...they look so big and juicy...

@16 paws , how is Chicken Little doing?

Thanks so much for asking,

She is doing well, she has since been reunited with her broody mama. Mama takes 3 of the six chicks up on a roost at night and the other 3 including Chicken Little stay down and sleep together on the ground. It has been real warm at night so they dont need heat. She likes to perch on the side of her food dish and she gets around pretty well. The area she is in is a nursery and it about 8 feet by 12 feet. She seems to know now when I enter the nursery as before she didnt seem to hear me. She is still very young and I hope she goes on to amaze us by the things she will learn to do. I am excited to see progress. She has really touched my heart and she deserves to live out this life God gave her.
We are taking one day at a time....

Thanks again for checking on her, I will post a picture of her soon.

When you realize you've spent most of your spare time for the last 3 months building a chicken palace and it's still not done.

When you get home from a ten day vacation and rush around to tell all 36 birds in six coops that you missed "their beautiful chicken faces."

When you're standing there holding a chicken on its new ramp and going chook chook chook to encourage it to use it and applauding when she goes up.

(seriously, I need a life LOL)

When you suddenly realize you are holding your OEGB cockerel and baby talking to him about how pretty his feathers are...

When someone says "guess what" you can't help but blurt out "chicken butt!"......
