Dang, a lady stopped by our place late this afternoon trying to give away a dozen chickens. Apparently their dog suddenly decided it liked chicken, and it’s keep one or the other. I declined, as we have as many as I can keep up with already. But now I’m really thinking I could have “squeezed in” her two Ameraucanas. Our friends love the blue eggs...
You gonna cook the raccoon and feed it to the chickens? Lotsa good protein there. ;-)
No, we didn’t eat the raccoon. We do eat all the deer meat from successful hunts in the fall.
It turns out that the “lone survivor” hen is not the one laying brown eggs! One of the hens was laying the largest ‘blue’ eggs & this is the hen. She got some garden greens & overripe Sungold tomatoes this afternoon, which she enjoyed.
