I have a bunch of pics of my son and chicks, but unfortunately they're all stuck on my cell phone right now.
Well, except for this one. Here's the day we brought our silkie Scully home. She was in a box in the back seat with him, but he couldn't wait the 20 minutes it took to get home to open the box. She sat in his lap the whole way back.
I introduced my 5 year old granddaughter to my 4 hens this afternoon. My granddaughter had never gathered eggs and had never seen eggs in a nesting box before today. Luckily, two of the gal's produced right before we got to my chicken tractor.
After gathering the eggs, her comment to me was priceless . . . "Maw-Maw's, it's a little bit like Easter, isn't it??"
She's visiting for the week so she will have an opportunity to get to know our hen's and do a lot more egg gathering. And we're all looking forward to breakfast in the morning!
