chickens...

This past week has been one of our

stay-at-home work/play vacations.

It started last weekend with a trip

to farm country to deliver our 12 meat birds

to be butchered.

The scenery is always a treat,

and it was a gorgeous day...
{well, depending upon whom you asked.}

My new laying hens arrived recently

and have taken up residence in the vacated barn

stall...

The Silkie bantams are loving their free-ranging

lifestyle and have done no damage to the garden!

They are extremely well mannered, calm and

gentle--not sure if it's because they are bantams

or if it's just the breed.

We can even pick them up without

a fuss.
