I now have a small flock of chickens. That is something I feel good about! 4 black chickens and an up and coming rooster with black and white feathers and huge yellow feet named Uncle Samasaurus Rex. At least I think he's a rooster. I'd bet money he is.
The 4 lovely ladies living in my backyard are Cheeks, Amelia, Eyebrows, and Yellowlegs. Cheeks is the biggest so far. She has feathers that stick out on her cheeks, hence the name. Eyeberows also has the sticky outy feathers on her cheeks, but her distinguishing feature is her EYEBROWS. Pretty yellow eyebrows. She also has white toenails on black feet and wispy tail, quite the feminine young lass. She is Tony's favorite chick. Eyebrows has many facets to her personality. She loves Uncle Samasaurus but she doesn't need to follow him around much. She checks in with him now and then. Like right now. She likes to climb up on things and peck at the tall weeds. She wanders off on her own a bit and doesn't seem too disturbed at being alone. The other day she got over into the Winkle's yard somehow and that was pretty distressing to her. Especially being corralled by Max and I and picked up. The Winkle sisters got quite a kick out of the whole thing! Nice ladies!
As much of a chore as the chickens are, I seem to be enjoying it. Even missing goddess night the other night because of tarp troubles was okay. I got a kick out of my struggles with wind and rain and loose uncooperative chickens! Good times!
