On March 14th, I celebrated my first anniversary of being a chicken owner! The girls (Margaret, Annie Lennox, Annabelle, Alan Trammell, and Princess Snow White - my favorite) and I celebrated with a long day outside in the warming weather. Yesterday I spruced up their coop - cleaned and swept it, aired it out, took out a few of the things I had used to winterize it. And last night was the first night they had no heat lamp on in a LONG LONG TIME. Bill wanted to try a new watering contraption he created after dark, but when I went back to open up the coop they were so snoozy and cozy without the light I only got the teeniest cooing back at my voice. I implored him to leave them alone to their first totally dark and cozy sleep in awhile. What a nice anniversary week they are having!
I feel compelled to exclaim to the world that I am firmly in love with my chickens. I don't see an end to my chicken-ownership...ever. They are adorable, useful, friendly, sweet, amusing pets. Off to water them!!!!
YAY for chickens!!:)
