I'm not sure I'm going to get anything done today. I've been standing at the kitchen door with my binoculars watching the chickens to see how they are reacting to their new home. Finally, they have all ventured out of the chicken coop itself, into the run. When the horses dropped by to satisfy their curiosity as to the strange new beings occupying part of their home, the chickens nearly had heart attacks. Evidently, they hadn't been around horses . . . but all is well. It didn't take long for them to realize they had nothing to fear!!
THEY'RE HERE!!!! THEY'RE HERE!!!! At 7:00 a.m. this morning the telephone rang and it was the post office letting me know my girls were there waiting on me. When I got there the ladies at the post office were all giggling. They said I had one golden looking chicken that was quite vocal. I got them home, got some water and feed out, let my ladies out and sure enough a pecking order had already been, at least temporarily, formed and one of my Buff Orpingtons was at the top. Both of the Orpingtons are a little larger than the other four chickens. I also bought 2 Barred Rock and 2 Rhode Island Reds. The one Orpington though is kind of bossy. I think I'm naming her Aunt B.

I'm ecstatic!!

AuthorMy name is Nina. Southern Indiana has been my home since 1952. I've been a legal secretary most of my adult life and for my leisure time I enjoy everything connected to the world of herbs and cooking is almost like a "fever". I am also quite opinionated but try not to push my opinions on others. My family is grown and I'm left with a wonderful hubby sharing life with me. I'd guess you'd say my passion is living that life to the fullest. Archives
