Chickens

I want a couple of chickens, five at the most, to provide fresh eggs and bug control. Our neighbors think it's hilarious for a city girl to want chickens and planted ceramic birds in the yard while we were out. Miss Critterpants has claimed them and gives them mud baths in her garden box.

Someday we're getting chickens, a straight run of easter egg chickens from Cackle Hatchery, in a few years when Miss is in school and I can't travel like I do now. Easter egg chickens lay blue, green and sometimes even pink eggs! A straight run is a mixed group of chicks, so there are boys and girls sent to you in the same box. Once they arrive and mature it is a game of survivor, one rooster stays, the others also stay. They stay very, very still in the freezer.
