Back to my blog after a long break and the upheaval of moving house one more time - that's 5 moves in 3 years. I don't want to see another moving box for a VERY, VERY long time!
Unfortunately, it was all a necessary evil due to the circumstances, but lessons learned, and onward and upward to bigger and better things.
Like chickens!
Now that we're on acreage - nearly 900 acres to be exact - we have free ranging chickens! I do love my chookies, they are such characters!
We have Roscoe P. Chicken, the Silkie Rooster - he's a rescue from the soup pot, now living the high life on the farm. Then there's Wesker the other Bantam Rooster and his two 'wives' Alice and Margaret (two little Pekin hens) and the 'kids'. Each little hen has 4 chicks at the moment, about 2 weeks apart in age, so the older batch is at the 'ratty' stage and starting to get feathers. They're all very cute and are great at doing bug patrol in the lawn and gardens.

What fun these guys have been to watch over the last few weeks! Now we're just hoping for more hens than roosters in the batch of chicks! :-)
