Hiya!

So, exciting news!!! We found all of our missing chickens!!! We had lost two and then we found one and lost it again and then found it again and then found the twelfth missing chicken!!! It was so exciting. She was sitting on 23 eggs! I thought it was pretty insane. Oops! I have to go feed my animals. More later!

Hiya! Today it is rainy and cold. We are back to ten chickens. They like to go out somewhere and find a quiet spot and start a nest then sit on the nest for about three weeks. I am hoping that they will stop nesting soon and come back to the nice warm chicken coop. I wonder if it is warmer in the chicken coop that in here. I am pretty cold right now. Hm... Well I should go and some form of school or whatnot. Ciao!

Oh I forgot to tell you all that Wesley is now in Italy! He has started school and is enjoying Viterbo immensely!

And... I have started to name our chickens. At least the four that I own. There is a really cute one that I can tell apart because of her dark colored bottom fuzz. Then I have a buff (Orpington) who has wandered off to go make a nest and a very dominant fluffy footed hobbit. (That's not his actual name. ) and an Australorp who likes to sit on a nest in our coop.

Hrow. Last night my dad went to close the chickens into their coop and when he counted them we only had ten... We believe that the same chicken that was brooding on her eggs decided to go brood on some more. Silly chicken. The weather is very dreary and cold. ugh.... I miss Wesley.

WE FOUND ONE OF OUR CHICKENS!!!!!!!!!!!! It had been missing for a little while. It was sitting on SIXTEEN eggs! I can't believe we found her! When they counted the eggs under her she got annoyed and rustled up her feathers then she sat back down on her eggs and started pushing them all under her. It sounded so cute!!

Hi!! Sorry it has taken a while to email you guys! I have been sick then on vacation then sick again!!! :P Not fun. Anywho... Our chickens our doing good except that two of them are missing presumed dead! :( We think that maybe a raccoon or skunk has been killing them but were not sure.

Hello! The chickens are doing great in all the hot weather. They like to hide in the bushes on either the side of the house of down near the end of our yard. It is super cute. The eggs are getting bigger and more plentiful. Right now Molly is going to check on them because they are being REALLY noisy. Like I said earlier it is swelteringly hot over here. (oops I don't think swelteringly is a word! Oh well) Tonight my family and I are going to see the play A Mid Summer Nights Dream. It is at six thirty at East side park. WESLEY IS LEAVING FOR ITALY ON WEDNESDAY!!!!!! That is so weird! I am going to miss him a ton this semester.

Hi all!!!! Sorry I haven't posted in a LONG time! I have been on vacation. I had a great time but now I am back and back to my blog! The chickens are still laying. I think we got two or three yesterday, I haven't checked today though. The chickens have been roaming around the yard for a couple days, they seem to like it. The Buff Orpingtons and the most curious. They like to wander up around the house and we have to herd them back down a little! Well I need to go feed the dog, check on the chickens and get ready for church!! Have a great day!
