As many of you know I raise chickens and have been for the past few years. One of my girlfriends who owns a BIG farm tells me," they stink" and that's why she doesn't have any. Well--show me an animal who doesn't stink. But, any way back to my chickens. I recently purchased 12 baby Rhode Island Red chicks. They are so cute and they are getting their tail feathers. I go out every morning and talk to them so that they will know my voice. I have in the past done the incubator thing and it takes precise temperature and pretty much around the clock care. It is rewarding and awesome to watch a chicken hatch. They will peck at the shell for hours till they make their way into this world. The best part is you can hear them peep inside the shell. Many of you are wondering....do I put my chickens in the pot for supper... NO...but there is nothing like a fried egg sunny side up! I do have a few roosters for sale if any one would have a need for a few. In the chicken business you just need a few roosters to take care of a LOT of hens.....
That's another story on another day. Well, I have a pile of flower orders setting on my desk that needs to be designed and delivered to the funeral homes and I have rambled on long enough. I'll keep you posted on my chickens.
