Update on The Chickens

Well, Jeff gave in and bought this cute little chicken coop. I gave it a name this past week "The Cheyenne Social Club". Have you seen the movie? Well, lets just say this is "The Best Little Hen house"! If you haven't seen the movie it is definitely worth watching. It really has nothing to do with chickens, though.


These are my little chicks, they have grown alot over the past week. Brownee even likes them, at least she doesn't lick her chops like Dans cat did. All is well here. We are just waiting for the real spring to show up and we will plant the garden. I have also been bartering for services. I teach a girl in our ward cooking lessons (enough of that laughing), and she teaches me piano lessons. We had our second class today and it went really well. After awhile she is going to throw in voice lessons (okay now you can get up off the floor from laughing so hard!) It has been really fun to trade services. I encourage you all to try it.

Here chicky, chicky

This is my new little project. The pic is pretty small, but I will be taking new ones soon. These are my new little babies. Chicks! The ones in the upper corner are Rhode Island Reds, layers. And the little yellow ones I picked up today are Cornish Rock, meatbirds. The reds are approximately 10 days old and the yellow ones are maybe 2 days old. Over the next two months it will be interesting to see the difference in growth. Remember my chicks I had two years ago? They were the Cornish Rock. Well, lets just hope we don't get the bird flu, or we'll all be under quarantine and unable to travel! That would be sad.:(
Okay, now I have blogged so those of you who haven't for awhile it is now your turn. We sure love to see those blogs.
