Just me and Da Chickens

I hope you like this entry about the chickens, down home.
This week I am solo while Aaron, Candice and the chillin's are on vacation. I have learned quite a lot about taking care of their newly acquired five hens and a "midget" rooster. The next door neighbors had the chickens and moved away.

White Chickens, produce white eggs

Rock chick produce brown eggs


That left them for new ownership as they moved and Aaron bought a newly constructed hen house. Then, the new next door neighbors have chickens of their own, about six times what we had, besides a couple more roosters. They also have a gaggle of geese. The geese like to honk and quack whenever someone come close to their fence. The geese are so funny and like to make a lot of noise, that is for sure.

I don't have any photos of the geese. My camera is temporarily missing, so have no way to take a few candid shots of the geese, roosters and chickens.

It is so much nicer to have fresh laid eggs,and eat them right from the nest, practically. The chickens are fairly descent and that makes it so much easier too.

There is something about having fresh omlettes for breakfast from fresh eggs.

I recall that one of my aunts (Chelo's people) had chickens in San Antonio. I would go with Bessie to the hen house and I think we helped gather eggs. That is my earliest recollection with chickens.
