chicken update

Okay, I promise there is a photo of a human being that you care about in here.

I put the new chickens in their outside box spring coop for a while today. They loved it.

We're going to eat these two chickens.
But you know, most of the chicken you eat doesn't get to peck around and eat worms.
I don't know how many chickens I eat a year, and we're probably not even making a dent in that at all, but I like the idea of giving them a nice life before I eat them, rather than having them in some chicken shed and letting someone else do the dirty work of slaughtering birds who never saw the light of day.
The weird thing about all of this is that I still totally love Chicfila.

The old guy meets the new kids.
I was a little surprised no one got killed.

This buff orpington seems to be the one that likes Evangeline the most.
This is a good thing because we're not going to eat this chicken.

I moved that black pot and uncovered a big anthill.
The old chickens came and devoured them, but the little guy wanted to see what was going on.

That didn't last long.
But again, no one got killed.
