Humor to Start the Week

A farmer's son was returning from the market with the crate of chicken's his father had entrusted to him, when all of a sudden the box fell and broke open. Chickens scurried off in different directions, but the determined boy walked all over the neighborhood scooping up the wayward birds and returning them to the repaired crate. Hoping he had found them all, the boy reluctantly returned home, expecting the worst.

"Pa, the chickens got loose," the boy confessed sadly, "but I managed to find all twelve of them."

"Well, you did real good, son," the farmer beamed. "You left with seven."

Name This Chicken!

 

Help us name our chicks! We still have three without names! They are getting bigger, bolder, and enjoying farm life! What do you think we should call this sweet chick?

Can You Spot the Chickens?

Our chicks are enjoying the grass!

Welcome to Our Chickens!

Our baby chickens have arrived! We are so excited! I picked them up this afternoon and am so happy to have our very own Kindred Ground Farm chickens!

We have nine chicks: three Americauna, three Guinea Hens, and three Silkies. They are all babies so we have to monitor them carefully. They will have plenty of play time and fresh air, but will sleep inside our house in totes for a few weeks! Once they are a little bigger they will be sleeping outside of course!

They start to lay eggs around 6 months of age, so it will be awhile before we have egg producing chickens but in the meantime we will play with them, hold them a lot, and let them discover the farm. They need to be held and touched frequently so they are accustomed to human hands for when we collect eggs. Our eggs will include colorful shades of blue and green!

I will be learning a lot as we raise our chickens. My homepage might have to change to Backyard Chickens! If you have knowledge to share, please do!

A big thank you to our shareholder and chicken expert, Markette, for all her assistance and knowledge today! You are an invaluable resource and are much appreciated! And thank you for weeding too!
