and my maybe new next door neighbor has bee hives, such a plus
My neighbor 2 doors down has bees, and they are on my bucket list...
I have done the research on keeping them over the last year and will probably attempt a single hive next spring and see how it goes, that is if I can stop the wife from rolling her eyes every time I bring it up...
[/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]I keep trying to rehome her but every time I prepare myself, the kids go & do something so outrageously funny. Who takes a chicken on a bike ride???? Just imagine a little boy with training wheels going up & down the sidewalk with a full-sized chicken on the handlebars. [/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]Other than constantly being underfoot & begging for attention, she's a pretty good chicken. Still waiting for that 1st egg. (Because of her genetics, I'll likely be waiting a while.) It's getting less likely that we'll be able to part with this mutt. I have a feeling we'll have many stories to share about this one.

We hatched some eggs from 2 fav chickens to see how they turned out. The chicks were mixes, but all looked like lav orps. We also have her sister, "Sweetie." She is actually bigger, fluffier, rounder, & just as docile. I have video of DD clucking & walking around the house with Sweetie (1-2 week old chick) running behind her. I have the same problem with Sweetie. We SHOULD rehome her. She's a mix- but just too lovable & so darn pretty. Here's Sweetie. She's not even posing & looks good.
