In other news, one of our chickens hatched out five baby chicks a couple of days ago. She  had made herself a nest
out by the retaining wall and sat on her eggs through rain and wind. It kind of does my heart good because our flock had dwindled down over the past couple of years due to coyotes and a Yorkshire Terrier who I can only hope has moved on to a better place....
 Anyway we had gotten down to one hen who we named Biddy. She had survived because she had taken to roosting in a tree next to the house at night. Then, towards the end of last summer we acquired a rooster from a friend who had too many. Really any more than one rooster is too many (as my lovely wife learned the hard way in a previous installment....) so, we ended up with Handsome. I had wanted to call him Kelloggs because he looks like the Kelloggs rooster but was out voted. (Being the farm boy that I am I'm not crazy about naming animals that have the potential to be eaten anyway but seeing as he is the rooster.....) Handsome takes his job seriously  and starts work promptly at 5:30 every morning.
 Well,  nature took its course and they had a few chicks in the fall one of whom survived through the winter who we call Peep. Peep is a hen now and of course no longer peeps but the name persists. She is also the proud and devoted  mother of our new chicks. Hopefully they are numerous enough that that giving them names will prove futile.
I luvs my chicken!
