    Oh my, if I put chickens in my backyard, my toy poodle boy would go banannas. We have a bird's nest in the eve of our home who has babies now. They drive the dog crazy. Thanks for the FYI on chickens ladies. Great photos.

    ohh! I bet they are too cute!
    We are up to 14 chickens now. We adopted 6 more babies this spring. I LOVE them.
    Here's a picture of DD with her best friend Chloe.

    She is a Silkie. They stay small.
    She lays very little eggs. About half size as a normal hen.
    She is full grown, over 1 year old now.

    Ms. Grace, don't you just love those white silkies? We have four, at least one being a rooster. I love watching their hair move in the wind.

    Isn't that so cute when their little fluffs blow in the wind?
