The week of 6/5 We finally got down to a reasonable number of chickens. We had a lady buy 6 and another 8 and Cory took his 20. We only kept 3 hens and a rooster from the barred rock chickens we raised. We were down to 12 all together. I was glad to be done with feeding all those chickens. Later we talked to Cory about his chickens and his flock was shrinking everyday. We took the last 6 chickens and sold them to Uncle Wade. Some are at Grandpa's and the like to roost by his front door. Now we all have chickens.
Jacob is funny with his chickens. He has a few favorites that he likes to catch and carry around. The rooster, Ferdinand, has grown and gotten to be so pretty. He has red and blue in his feathers. Jake likes to feed them any scraps he can find. Sometimes he will go out in the tall grass and catch grasshoppers to feed his chickens. He likes to watch them snarf them down. He does an ok job cleaning, feeding, and watering them. It is a learning curve and he is improving and learning responsibility. Gathering and cleaning the eggs doesn't seem to be his priority. They are funny little creatures to watch and I enjoy having them around. They hang out in the back behind the machine shed, so they dont bother me up around the house. I enjoy the eggs. We make a lot of scrambled eggs and french toast. I make big breakfasts on Sundays and use as many eggs as I can. The egg supply really grows in a hurry. We give them to friends and family.
