There have been times when I'll yell "Going out to do chicken chores" as I leave the house. After about a half hour or so, if I'm still outside, the DH will come out and say "Is everything okay? Why are you still out here?" (Note: if I had as many chickens as Kathy a half hour wouldn't be enough time for chicken chores!) and when I say, "I'm fine...just chillin' with my peeps!", he rolls his eyes
and heads back inside. I love that he is concerned about me
.....but he just doesn't get why I want to sit in the coop/yard and watch their antics as much as I do! You are either "chicken blooded" or you're not.....I am....he is not...but we make it work!!
Mahonri, It isn't that you're "chicken ugly"...
...you just aren't interesting enough to hold their attention.....unless you have treats.....then they're all about being with you!
Here are two more of the clutch that Asta hatched July 30/31. I haven't gotten many pics of these girls since they are usually out and about when I'm taking pics. The cold and snow has kept them around the the barn/coop so you will have to forgive the abundance of pics!!
In the first pic is Disa (background is Drottning-July 13 hatch by Anna) and the second pic is Dagny. Combs are reddening so looking for them to start laying shortly after Christmas as the days start getting longer!!
YAY!!
