They have me wrapped around their little fingers. (chicken fingers).
Anyway, I can see them from my kitchen window and they pace the fence waiting...waiting...waiting for me to bring them something. If I don't make it out to the run by noon I'm feeling really guilty. They have feed, but...
I don't know if this has come up before or not...but now I feel kind of dumb knowing that I spend about $4.00 for a box of microwave popcorn when it's so easy to make it yourself for about .10 cents a serving.
