In lieu of an actual post...

Not much to report right now, tomatoes are growing, chickens are clucking (but not laying), pumpkin has powdery mildew. I will note however that apparently our little chicken house was the talk of the Reedville baseball practice last week. Apparently we are "some house by Indian Hills actually has chickens right in their backyard."

So, anyway, here are some pictures from McMenanims Edgefield:

 

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

 

Our first "predator"

Well, have had our first "predator" yesterday.  It was a small cat who sat on top of the chicken coop and meowed plaintively I think he was saying "pllleasssee…plleeeaseee."  I took a video from my phone and will post it as soon as I can find the micro-sd card reader, which is…somewhere in the house.

We have chickens!

At long last we have chickens!

We put up the welcome sign:

Felix investigates the package

Meet our Araucana, Tonks:

Our Buff Orpington, Luna and our New Hampshire, Ginny:

And our Welsummer, Hermione

Right now they are all pullets but they should be laying soon!
