Friday night Amber's friends Ryan and James brought over a baby duck. We all thought it was so cute and then realized they brought it to give to her. After a long quacky night we realized it needed company. But no more ducks please. So they went down and bought a couple of baby chicks. It took some mean pecking but they are friends now. I love how the little one likes to hang-out on top of the duck.
Saturday morning my cousin Forrest and his wife Jodi called and asked if I would like a couple of laying hens and a chicken tractor. They surprised me and brought five Barred Rock hens (so generous). We already have one Rhode Island Red. So now we have a real flock of laying hens. It has been a long time and I am so enjoying it.
COOL!!!!!!!! I wanna duck now! :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it! What a sweet little family of fouls! :) You know, if you keep adding a few more feathered friends to your nest this year, by December you could totally provide a live performance of The Twelve Days of Christmas for your ward party! :)
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh....I remember that chicken you had in Phoenix when we lived behind you. Your kids got so excited when the thing would lay an egg. It was hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI also remember other "birds" in your backyard too. The poop was just getting to be too much from them so you let me use your Daisy gun.:)
I am glad you are liking them! We are glad to have a smaller flock! Thanks for taking them for us! Tell Aubrey the cookies were awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of Amber so cute, what good friends she has. I'm glad your chicken finally has a few friends to play with. :P
