Next Generation

Meet Zombie (on the left) and Nugget (on the right)

the new additions to the flock.

They are Golden laced Wyandottes

and will look like this when grown

And yes, 

they were named by a 6 year old boy.

RIP Scrawny Chicken

Matilda the buff in the back left

About two weeks ago, 

my mother asked if I had counted the chickens.

Immediately, I knew I'd be missing someone.

Turns out there was a pile of orange feathers near the barn

and I was missing a buff orpington.

While sad that I lost a chicken,

it at least was the scrawny one named Matilda

and not Bertha who has personality in droves.

Snow

“Cats are smarter than dogs. You can't get eight cats to pull a sled through snow.”

The first real snow of the winter is headed our way!
