I want to introduce ya'll to Ulysses S. Grant (Formerly known as Sam by his real Chicken Mama, and known as Grant by us!) and The First Ladies of Ohio.

Grant and The First Ladies came to us from another BYC'er, keljonma, as she needed a place for her flock. I was able to make a coop available, while still being able to practice good quarantine, even though I was certain her flock was healthy (and I was right!). I am not kidding when I tell ya'll that no one's chickens are as spoiled as Grant and The First Ladies! They roost on a ladder with a droppings board, are fed the best feed, get only the best straw, are used to be talked to, petted, and sang to OFTEN during the morning, day, and at night to bed. They have their own personal lights for at night. They are used to having Black oil sunflower seeds, rolled oats, yogurt, food scraps, fresh veggies, and lots of free range time. They also have their own kiddie pool for dust bathing in!

The wonderful care and pampering they are used to put me to shame with my flock!! But, I've tried very hard to maintain the standards of living they are used to, except for singing to them. I haven't quite got myself to that point yet!

But they are extremely friendly, and they are such a joy! My hope is that eventually their Mama will be able to have them with her again, as I know she misses them very much, but I am happy to give them a home for as long as needed!!

So, without further ado, please meet Ulysses S. Grant and The First Ladies!
