We have some new ladies at the house... Chickens! And they are quite popular around here. Mark built a chicken tractor for them (you can see Micah helping below with the hammer!), and I am looking forward to eggs when they start laying in January or so.
We decided it was time for a new set, and thanks to some friends who were willing to trade some seedlings for some accidental layers in their batch of broilers, these ladies have come to live with us. There is one white Brahma - with pretty feathers on her feet - and four Cinnamon Queens. Naomi has named them Queenie and the Four Cinnamon Princesses, which sort of sounds like a band.
Micah loves them, and the first thing he wanted to do when I got home today from being gone all weekend was show them to me - and he has a good combo clucking/wing gesture happening right now to communicate "chickens".
