We're also venturing out into a rare breed, the Black Copper Marans. They are pricier. We bought a rooster and a pullet. Hopefully in late summer she will begin laying her dark chocolate brown eggs. After some practice... we'll get these two Marans together and see if they can make some babies!</div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; "><br /></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; ">We also found mixed-breed laying young hens for sale near our church for only $6 each.

Ok, so that's what Vincent said after he asked for some help picking up our new baby chicks. It was just something else... well, these chicks came as a surprise for us from our friend down the street, Ann. We (I) have been dreaming of a chicken coop and a couple fluffy chics now and then for a while. We even went to a farm earlier today and saw a cool coop design that I took pics of. Farm details will come in a post tomorrow... Anyways, Ann's gift was like a souvenir of our day, but not from where we went. :)</span></div><div><span ><br /></span></div><div><span >Introducing...</span></div><div><span ><br /></span></div><div><span ><br /></span></div><div><span >Zacky</span></div><div><span ><br /></span></div><div><span ><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-oEn4JA7QNXQ8GEzSzvAkkT4SgEAcVDEhlodEBDzti2zw8H3nLgBkMQeES65SWqZKAFgp0juUyFLmFOaNxcoDigZapTGAfFIce3mzilnuBDOZffcfEyKU2915cHt6cinfW0aiY77EQtNE/s1600-h/100_9334.JPG"><img style="display:block;

We're getting used to each other lately... he doesn't peck me near as much as he used to. A friend of mine that saw him for the first time last week kept asking me,</div><div>"what's wrong with him?". Gramps calls him the rooster from the movie Pet Cemetery. He adds a little comical humor to the chicken yard. He's as sweet as can be to our 2 year old hen, Vinny. We'll see how he is with the 3 month olds that I recently introduced to the yard. He did peck at one this morning. Just keeping the teenagers in line I suppose.</div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGHGF0Wg2FwNLJySt6GeAiSTFcNWB13AqUODKfdd78FqcfLdIJMsdv6pLjuVTlQxI1qGnazjnLzol9AfX6i1NI-FpramPcchNSG1xfUoz4k47rpPT1qreQMO51O8mu92HQdLqjseQ45mA/s1600-h/100_6118.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGHGF0Wg2FwNLJySt6GeAiSTFcNWB13AqUODKfdd78FqcfLdIJMsdv6pLjuVTlQxI1qGnazjnLzol9AfX6i1NI-FpramPcchNSG1xfUoz4k47rpPT1qreQMO51O8mu92HQdLqjseQ45mA/s400/100_6118.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369227267420530818" /></a>Check out Walter's crow... he gets a bit of laryngitis at the end:</div><div><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzXTCTEAP0z5h_Ap8xXRaPFW9q488CkBQn-TIT0zL0NV78fzTtp2BGALfOeahNEEGU2cU8-o6Wk8WZq5ehaKg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>Lindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14050634402789392450noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009637439713182450.post-7194825174052785462012-02-21T18:39:00.003-08:002012-02-21T18:55:01.225-08:00Chickens Missing<span><div>From July 2009:</div><div><br /></div><div>FOUR, count that... 4 of our teenage chickens disappeared.
