We were into being as self sufficient as possible. This was about 60+ years ago and times were tough.<br />I like your little ladies and if I could have some now they would be my little pets.<br />Have a good week<br />Barb from AustraliaBarbara Neubeckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12129774816143303590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504547252988171727.post-55781464282049849522012-07-11T05:34:35.131-07:002012-07-11T05:34:35.131-07:00I wondered to who was on chicken duty.

But she was afraid to go into the coop and retrieve the eggs, so I have a bunch in there, and one broke. There was ants all over it. I had to thoroughly clean it. One of the chickens laid this teeny tiny egg. Almost like a quail egg? SO weird. I think they were happy I was home!!!<br />You should be getting eggs soon!<br />XO KrisKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15578853096888320012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504547252988171727.post-79182796340254906432012-07-10T20:04:10.047-07:002012-07-10T20:04:10.047-07:00You were so blessed to have such great "Chick...You were so blessed to have such great "Chicken Nannies" while you were on vacation, Elaine!!<br />Hugzzz,<br />CarolynnChenille Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02431398899341721439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504547252988171727.post-47202512419142901552012-07-10T18:35:07.520-07:002012-07-10T18:35:07.520-07:00Your girls are getting big.

When he (Granddad) had a week off every summer we got the farmyard duties and we milked the cows, feed the cattle, and then later the pigs. Dad always took me with him to do these duties and I loved it! It is a whole different way of life taking care of the animals.<br />SherryThe Charm of Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510594223746911615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504547252988171727.post-15048457832928132832012-07-10T10:23:18.051-07:002012-07-10T10:23:18.051-07:00you have such a wonderful chicken love you do, it ...you have such a wonderful chicken love you do, it makes me smile, you make my day.I think the concern and care you show your pets speaks volumes on your personality, you are a wonder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504547252988171727.post-66187622844231210782012-07-10T10:10:53.922-07:002012-07-10T10:10:53.922-07:00Gosh...they have really grown.

I am glad to see you had a good system and some responsible young ladies to do these chores for you. <br /><br />The flock block and the iced water/wading pool was a good idea too! <br /><br />hadn't thought of that. <br />We've had rain the last 3 or 4 days in a row now...and my chickens have loved it! They take cover when it has been heavy rain...but for the showers they have been cooling down and strolling around the yard. <br />In fact George got his crow on during one of the rains... <br />It was like he was 'singing in the rain'...LOL. <br />PatPatricia @ 9th and Denverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04786692442689958889noreply@blogger.com
