Chicken Addiction
I am sure my NC family thinks I am crazy. I am spending about two months there caring for my mom and her broken hip so we have plenty of conversations involving my chickens.
Two chicks hatched out the day before I left for NC and I was so excited. They are Silkie chicks mixed with an Aracuana daddy. I didn’t get to see them grow because I was gone three weeks and they are much bigger now. Boo hoo
I have found some interesting websites where other people are raising chickens and writing about their experiences. A woman who sells eggs and chicks lives close to me and has a website named chickenzoo.com. She has all kinds of animals and lives on two acres like me.
My chickens give me a lot of joy. It is fun to see what the baby chicks will look like. I now have 33 chickens including the babies. One of my Aracuanas just laid it’s first green egg. I have an incubator so I will be hatching out some baby chicks in the spring. So eggciting.
I think I may start a chicken blog….it would a diary of my ideas and happenings while raising my chickens. I have designed a chicken house and found some cheap shortcuts for caring for unexpected situations. I am looking forward to finding a name for my blog.
