the girls & more

the girls and more slide show:



have not been a good blogger lately. a bad back injury has left me boohooed--lots of pain and probably some permanent numbness on the right arm/hand and leg/foot. but slowly getting back to things. busy as a bee keeps the pain away. i purchased 3 chickens in april to make a small flock of 4. henniepennie has been alone since hennieroe tragically died in the claws of the red-tailed hawk. the new arrivals were:
cornflake (Buff Orpington)
shamhat (Australorp)
cleopatra (Ameraucana-she will lay green or blue eggs)
they are amusing to watch as they strut across the yard, chasing bugs, eating seeds, and just checking everything out.
a new chicken yard was built-complete with hawk and owl proof netting for times when they are in. they currently roost in ella the rabbit's old house while construction of the coop takes place. (dhamma & pada were not left out. they also have a new improved duck yard with 2 pools and netting.)
happy to say they all roost together and henniepennie keeps up with the youngsters.
