Friday - Chickens

It's Friday!

The end of the workweek and another original post about what's going on in the world/my life.

Chickens

We had our first set of baby chicks born from our chickens. There are six of them. (Now, there are 11. Nope 14. Wrong again 16 baby chicks) Cool.

We didn't get to see the chicks hatch because the mommy hen would peck us. Ouch.

The FAO has a few publications on chickens
