The Chickens are Starting to Lay!

The chickens are beginning to pay for their food and board and they are in big debt!

The chickens are now over 9 weeks old!

A new home for the chickens.

Here's a great picture of me.

About 5 weeks old here!

Here's just a peek of the new coop/yard. Go HERE for more!

The chickens were 4 weeks old last Saturday.

This is getting very stinky by now. They are triple the size they were when we first got them. We did get a bigger box though, so that makes up for their growing a little bit. Dad is working on the chicken run on our coop. I'll post a picture when it's done. It should be soon because we need to move these chickens in a couple of weeks! Go HERE to see the chicken coop we got for free!

I GOT CHICKS !

This will be read by Hank the Bird Dog. You may know about me by a picture on my mistress' blog. In that picture she disgraces me by putting my fancy pants on. Well now I am the self proclaimed head of chick security and boy does it stink. Not as in bad job, but in the stink that stinks. Now I will tell the whole story. One day my mistress and her pa left the house. They came back oh, about an hour later carrying a box. On the side of the box there was a mysterious form of writing. I moved closer to the box. The writing seemed to be 4 words. Now I will decrift and desiphen the words. Now the first word appears to be a 10. The second word looks like rode. The third one is island. the last and final word seems to be reds and the whole thing together is 10 Rode Island Reds. I had to do this in a few seconds. Although it may seem hard to the average dog, it's not for a high performance machine. Now they put the box of chicks inside a metal cage in the office but they didn't need the cage. It may seem strange, but I was scared of them little squawkers up close.

I will try to give you an update next Saturday.

MY CATS

My cats don't like rats or bats.
They are friendly cats.
They like to sit all day.
Sometimes they get up and play.
But never all day.
At night they run and play.
But they will come back to me in the day.
I love my cats, they are my sweeties in the day.
My cats are sweet as honey if they are good all day.
Their names are Ginger and Arther the two greatest cats that don't like rats or bats.

A SWEATER FOR FANCY PANTS HANK

I am making a sweater for Hank because he's a short haired dog and he gets cold. There is an "H" on the back, it stands for Hank. I hope it fits him. I will post a picture of Hank in it when it's done. Maybe I'll knit him a pair of pants next. I got the idea from the Lion Brand Yarn website. There are free patterns on there. Here is a picture of Hank's sweater so far.
