woke up this morning to thirty cranky chickens. the little darlings knocked over their waterer all over the newly cleaned brooder. argh.

Well I guess its time to move into the dog crate. Just have to go get it out of the shed. I am also going to try them with a rabbit bottle for water, and maybe something else for the food. Save some floor space and some feed. They have almost emptied the mason jar onto the floor already.

I like the rabbit bottle idea for the brooder. Let us know if it works for them. Also for the feeder...I was thinking next year I would use one of those hang on the cage medal feeders they use for small animals (fill it from the top and it fills a feed tray). That way as they get bigger I can raise it up and try to save on food. They do make such a mess!

So I never thought I would care about stupid chickens, I ate chicken, thought they weren't smart, thought they were just dirty birds. Then I got ten this spring....... I just wanted eggs. Don't get me wrong, I am an animal lover. I have had more dogs, horses, cat, parrots, fish, alpacas, that I loved.... bla bla bla, you name it I have had it. I am a dog groomer by trade. I am border line vegetarian. I only eat dairy, eggs, fish, and chicken..... nope not anymore.( My best friend brought a whole cooked chicken to my house tonight and I nearly gagged, mostly because I have 3 week old cochins and wyandottes in the room 15 feet away from my kitchen and it might as well have been a cooked puppy to my brain) I'm losing it huh? lol. So I realized.....I LOVE CHICKENS. Yep I said it. I'm hooked. Darn birds. I hug them. They love me. It's pathetic. I'm not sure when in the 7 weeks that I have had them living in my house, occasionally watching t.v. with my husband and I, that this attachment manifested itself, but I am irreversibly addicted to this feathery, constantly pooping, pecks my fingers, dusty, awesome adorable creature. I can't stop trolling BYC. I hope all of you, my Indiana friends understand my new illness, and can put up with my constant questions and thirst for poultry knowledge. Because I fear it isn't going away any time soon. I just thought you all should know this. Thanks for reading.

Watching SNL with my peeps...

You made me laugh my butt off reading your post!! I haven't eaten chicken since I got my girls just over 2 wks ago. I even have a hard time eating the eggs (not cooking them). They are just so pretty and they worked so hard to give them to me and I take such delight in collecting them lol! We want a hobby farm eventually and my husband wants to butcher our own meat but I absolutely know there is no way I can eat my own animals. My husband hunts and fishes and I feel bad for the deer and fish for pete sakes. He thinks I'm crazy I just tell him "Yes I know that's what happens to the animals to get the meat from the store but I'd prefer not to see its cute little face before I attempt to eat it. I fear I'm well on my way to vegetarianism and I'm planning a large garden! Hehehehe
