Fife! What state are you in? Just joking! It is grey in Grand Rapids today! And just windy enough so the hens are very unhappy!
I am going to grill chicken and use up the propane in the tank. We just keep getting ready for Winter.
Raz - I would be a big fan of the chicken show! I think chickens are very interesting and eggcentric creatures. People don't know what they are missing. If you want a pet with real quirks, get a chicken!
Olive/Andy - I called Townline and they had me drive over on the day they were shipping chicks. The man reached in the box and gave me a small red chick. I was happy. Then he reached in again and gave me a large yellow chick. 'I don't want that one' I said. He insisted I take her. The lady at the desk nicely said, 'they are all presorted so Im sure it is a hen but if not you can return it to us for exchange'. So I skeptically took the chicks home. 'You're lucky', I told the big yellow chick.
We named her 'Lucky' and the other 'Little Red'. And it turns out that Lucky is a lovely red pullet now. She is very curious and brave, healthy and intelligent. She has a wonderful personality and will surely be a favorite and I consider myself to be the LUCKY one now!
