I have been counting my chickens, for recreation. OK, so my life is sedate.

Of course, they are hatched ones....They are extremely entertaining, but rather ugly at this point....I am pondering whether to try to enlarge my flock when I put them in the coop. Hubby says, 'absolutely not'....but what does that matter?! I suppose it matters only if we get the dozen or so eggs per day in the Fall....and can't rid ourselves of them.

They have graduated to the garage now, and have been happily living in a large wooden containment with fan and heat lamp. They roost now. They are feathering out to where you can identify some of the same breed ones now, and their personalities are emerging. I wonder if my ameraucana ones will lay blue eggs? In a few more weeks....out to the coop! Yeehawww!

BTW, I used to have cats...lots of em. I lost my last cat, at age 17, a few years ago. Given hubby is allergic, I have granted him a reprieve from cats....now he is allergic to feathers. I give up.
