The ducks have become incredibly difficult and will not behave. I think they are teenagers. They’ve decided they don’t want to go to bed at night, and they don’t want to eat what’s for dinner. The ducks would much rather run around the yard and eat crickets and moths. Next thing you know, they’ll be demanding cell phones and cars.
Right now I’m liking the chickens better. Here are the chicks at their recent modeling session.
We’re also getting eggs from the chickens, which makes them more likeable. We haven’t eaten any of the eggs yet, though. We did crack open a teeny egg we got to see what was inside. I was thinking it would just look like a teeny egg, but it was all yolk.
Here’s our first egg still in the nest.
And here’s all our eggs so far (minus the teeny one).
Do the chicks have feathers on their legs?
Do the chickens make nests like birds do in trees?
Do 13 eggs come in an egg carton?
Yup. The chicks have feathery legs and feet. They’s fancy chickens.
Not really. They just sorta make a little snuggly place in the hay. Sometimes the hens just lay their eggs on the grass in the pens.
Nope!
Yay! Chicken Eggs! Why aren’t they brown? Are they supposed to be brown? A buddy of my hubby’s used to give us fresh eggs and they were brown. What makes them brown or not? ???
It depends on the breed of chicken. Some are even green (popular during Easter).
