Dear Hurricane Sandy......

Thanks for hitting my fence, storage shed, truck and van...with a tree (yes in that order).....  BUT really, thanks for not hitting my house!!!!

We lost the fence, the shed and most of its contents as well as the big blue truck!  OH WELL, just stuff...and the chickens are FINE!!!  WOOOOHOOO!!!

You don't scare us Sandy!!!!

Waiting out Hurricane Sandy today!  All chickens are in their coops....we attached tarps to the outside walls of the runs to help keep them dry, replaced all the bedding in the "baby" side of the coop...Everybody seems pretty cozy in there even Mr. Chipmunk/Fonzie/Fozzie (name to be decided soon) the silkie rooster whose feathers aren't water proof and can't get wet in this cold weather or he will get sick :( !!!!

BOY AM I BEHIND!!!

Again....life gets in the way of happy posting!!!  Been busy busy!  August was pretty hot, but the girls all started laying in a good rhythm.  Started getting 7 eggs a day.....small and light at first..then larger and larger...

....THEN about 3 weeks ago...the ladies went out to range (as they do daily)...and hopped the fence to the woods (as they do daily)....they even started taking Campbell with them....2 of them decided not to come home and are either living with someone else, living the high life of rouge wild chickens in trees OR they got eaten by animal or person....don't know.
