Oops!! I forgot to add the Brown Leghorn Rooster to the list!! Just got my new baby chicks this morning. All are doing well and follow my hands around like I'm their Mama. I took them out of their shipping box and put them in a bigger box to introduce them to water. After that, had to wait a couple more hours before they got their first taste of real chick food. There are 6 white Leghorns, 5 brown Leghorns and 3 Easter Eggers. Such a friendly bunch and so cute!!

JD's mom has a mixed lot of pet chickens of all colors. I get brown, white and speckled eggs. She also has Guineas. They are here "doorbell" warning system SOMEBODY IS HERE! and raise a fuss.

always fresh farm eggs with "yellow" yokes from all the ground corn and bugs not to mention the scratchings. I just wish I could talk her into some geese. I love roast goose.

When I was a youngster, we lived next to my paternal grandparents who had chickens. My uncle who was close to my age and siblings made a clubhouse out of an old chicken coop. We called it the Lassie Forest Ranger Club. My uncle became a Forest Ranger when he grew up. I still miss those early morning c0ck-A-dOOdle-Doos. Abracadabra

When we were in Belgium or Luxembourg we were befriended by a nice couple who served roast goose for dinner. The lady kept a pretty Grey Goose. I am just assuming this was one of her Grey's ,however, that rich buttery goose fat is to die for. I looked in our local market for frozen goose.... $74 !!!!! JD occasionally plays great white hunter and bags a Canada Goose. Nowhere near enough to satisfy "MY NEEDS" ...LOL!

That's what I call a motely crew. I remember vividly in the early spring when we would get the baby chicks. They would put newspaper down under the stove and that is where they went for the first couple of weeks. I think they left them in the boxes they came in as the boxes had holes in them. It was too cold to put them out in the chicken coop. In later years when we finally got electrical power they would use heating lamps in the chicken coop. I dearly love those little yellow fluff balls. In the early fall the hens would be butchered to make room for the new brood of hens. I recall my parents whitewashing the hen house prior to the pullets going in there. It was a cycle of life.
