Cousins

L's cousins came to visit!  It was fun to see them and fun for them to have a chance to meet the chickens in person for the first time.  Cousins E and M were great helpers with the chicken chores!  Cousins A and Ay were a little more shy about the chickens, but they still got to see them and say hello.  Little L really enjoyed having her cousins visit the chickens with her too.

Pip has found a new home

Last Tuesday I put an ad on Craigslist to give Pip away.  The day before he/she came after me a few times trying to peck my legs, so I decided not to wait to find out if Pip is a boy or girl. A very nice retired couple came and took Pip to live with their four hens.  They will keep Pip even if he is a rooster, and they promised to send me a picture when they find out if Pip is a boy or a girl.  Things have been very quiet since Pip left.  The four pullets left are very calm.
Good luck in your new home Pip!  We hope you like your new hens!
