Melinda and Ninita in the paper

Melinda likes bringing her Chicken places. She is going to be known as the chicken girl if she is not careful. She took it to the street festival “Jack-o-lantern Jubilee” that was held just down the street from our house last weekend, and caught the eye of the papers photographer. Too bad their printing press is not registered better.. Melinda does NOT have a pudgy nose! (click on picture to make larger)

Chickens and Turkeys

Hannah caught Primo, Arthur’s turkey. He really is quite friendly. He still seeks Arthur out, and sits on his lap. Right now he hangs around in the woods with some other turkeys Arthur got.

I caught this one just by luck.. Rockwell kissing one of the chickens. We really are quite fond of them.

Chicken theater & BMX

I don’t know why I find this so entertaining, but I do.. It’s so funny watching the chickens chase after these bugs!

Last night Was Rockwell’s first “official” race as a NBL member. He did really well! He is down to 1 minute from the gate to the finish line.. If that does not mean anything to you, consider that that is my same pace! I can’t believe he is already as fast as I am.

Chicken Mistakes

Like Tammy said. this blog might become a chicken blog for a while.

so, I think I’m going to start numbering my mistakes, because I know there are going to be plenty, and it should be humorous.

So, mistake #2 was using a open watering bowl.. they walk, poop, and scratch into it.

Mistake #3 was thinking I was going to get the dogs to behave around them easily. I have not given up, but I don’t trust GiGi around them. so, so far I have not had them both out at the same time unattended.

Mistake #4 is the biggest one so far.. It would appear, if Kathi’s observation is correct, that one of our “hens”, the big guy, is a boy, not a girl!

Im sure there are dozens more mistakes to come.
