The lovely ladies celebrated their first birthday with special treats and a long run in the yard. This year has been so much fun watching them change from little fuzz balls into beautiful full grown hens. These sweet chickens don't ask for much, just food, water, shelter and some free ranging but sure give back a lot in free entertainment and of course delicious eggs. The addition of chickens to our little place has been and interesting and educational experience. No sharp learning curve with raising chickens as long as you start off with a good coop and secure run, then just sit back and enjoy. Guess I didn't really have to worry about the Vultures they have stayed away since I chased them off, I do keep an eye out for the Hawk and there was a young Bald Eagle flying around one day that I watch for, either of those could do some damage!
Maybe next year we'll get a few more although we are getting plenty of eggs so we'll just see how it goes.
Happy Birthday - Thelma, Louise, Zena, Minnie, Daisy and Poof Baby
