We've got chickens




First of all Happy New Year to everyone. I hope you've all made your resolutions for 2010 and are all set to break them too. No point making them if you can't break them occasionally.

It's also our wedding anniversary today but as usual, we'll be celebrating it at home. Going out on NYE doesn't really appeal to me because there are always too many people around which takes the excitement out of it for me. Dodging hot sweaty bodies is not my idea of fun.

We finally got around to taking some photos of the chicken coop lovingly built for me for Christmas by Ben and the hens we managed to track down finally. It seems that the local supply of chickens had miraculously dried up over Christmas. We had to drive a bit of a distance to get these beautiful girls but they've proven worthy of it. They've eaten almost every snail in the garden and already given us an egg each day. I'm about to try them out for breakfast!

It's rained here everyday for almost two weeks now. This has been very welcome because of the drought conditions but now I'm a little tired of it. The backyard is muddy and the clothes dryer has been working overtime. The grass and plants however have loved every minute of it.

It will probably all stop when I return to work next week - of course the sun couldn't show it's head while I was on holiday could it?

The coop is impressive, and the hens look healthy and capable! Do they have names yet? I envy you those fresh eggs - there is such a difference between those freshly laid, and those in the shops. I look forward to hearing more about the chicken project. Cluck, cluck! Mary

Well, first I want to say, happy Wedding Anniversary day!

Speaking of chickens, I also love chickens. I really want to have some at home but it's not allowed here. It seems that you got some difficulties looking for chicken supplies? I've included a link for you. Hope it helps!
