***OKIES in the BYC III ***

I like the idea of silkies with hair barrettes.

I've seen them with the small scrunchies in their crests, too. Pretty cute.

Good grief, that hen looks awful.

I do feed meat scraps from the table. I just don't go out of my way to find feed with animal protein in it because I do feed them leftover meat from the table. Except I admit, I'm squeamish and won't feed cooked chicken to my chickens.

Holy crap! That's a lot of stuff!

I'm really feeling jealous because I have a black thumb.

Except for tomatoes this is my best garden year in a very long time. I used to half heartedly attempt a garden, then stopped for several years while I was changing careers and going to school. Last year I did a ton of research and this year implemented it. It was the major reason for getting the chickens, the method I use involves the chickens in the garden. I have identified several "tweeks" I plan on implementing next year. But over all I am very happy w/ it this year, and proud I got it through the horrible drought still alive and bearing.
