Chickens

I just got chicks. They are really healthy now and are pretty much adjusted to their new home. They currently live in an old rabbit hutch. It makes a very nice chicken coop.

My little cousin came over and named one of the chicks Veruca Salt, after the little snob on Charlie and the Chocolate factory, or, her favorite character.

The chicks will not lay eggs for a while. 6 months. But then I will be able to enjoy some nice eggs in the fall and maybe partially in the winter. These type of chickens lay 300 eggs a year! When they molt, they will stop laying eggs.

Two chicks are going to the fair. Veruca Salt, and the other one will be decided closer to the time of the fair.

Well, bye bye bye for know! :)
