Left to right, Chicken Little (Aracauna-Americauna aka Easter Egg Chicken) Milton (Guinea Fowl) and June (Rhode Island Red). I truly have Spring Fever and am dreaming of baby chicks. We will have to wait until after the Easter company goes home to bring in a batch of baby chicks. It will be a while before we hatch in the incubator again unless we attempt Guinea Fowl eggs. Speaking of eggs, my girls are all back in the swing of things and we're getting close to a dozen a day...Hooray! Now we can win friends and influence people again.
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. -- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

Eggs just open SO many doors!
ReplyDeleteThems fine lookin' chickens!!
One dozen a day! Wow, now that is some eggs. Do you sell them? Are the chickens grain fed? If you were closer, I would buy from you....
ReplyDeleteWin friends and influence people! Ha you're cute! You already won friends and influence us too!
ReplyDeleteMy cleaning woman would be so jealous! She used to have about 10 hens, but a coyote took care of them.
ReplyDeleteMy chickens are a hobby and the eggs are a bonus. We share the extra eggs with family and friends and we do not sell them. Just think Lucy if you lived nearby I would GIVE you eggs from free range chickens. Ther are organic delicious eggs!
ReplyDeleteOh my !!!! I hadn't ever seen up close pictures of your chickens!!
ReplyDelete(The way I rush around, it's a wonder I see anything!)
They are so beautiful!!!
I know this is totally off subject, but I used to have a favorite dress that was the same pattern as Milton's feathers. We used to have chickens when I was a kid and they are really very sweet animals, especially the way they peck at your feet when your feeding them:)
