Going Away

I (manager of this blog) will be away till mid July, so don't expect anymore posts till I come back. Thank you! I will leave you with pictures of chickens:

More Chickens on Leashes

It was a great day to be outside and playing with the chickens. We put a few chickens on leashes again and I took some pictures. There is a monochrome filter on the pictures, so thay are all black and white. Here is pictures of Lemony Snicket on her leash.Enjoy!

New Chicken Practices

This weekend we tried a new activity with the chickens.We put leashes on them. Each chicken responded differently. Julia (Meez) ran around the yard trailing the leash. Lemony and Jasper just behaved as normal. I was able to take Jasper on a walk up our street!

I wish I had a picture of the chickens on leashes, but I have this one of the chickens we put leashes on.

More sad news

Amelia died. It was pretty sad, and my sister especially took it hard. She had written a story about her... I'll post it later. We buried her outside the chicken coop. She has a nice grave, overlooking the other chickens.

Sad news

One of our chickens, Amelia, has recently become very tired. She is sleeping all day and holding her wings at odd angles. She looks like she is in a lot of pain. Most likely we are going to have to put her out of her misery, in other words, put her down. It is very sad.

Friends of the chickens

A few days ago the chickens got some feathered visitors. Some flamingos stopped by on their way south. We didn't get any pictures of the chickens and flamingos, but it would have been great if we had!
