There are so many breeds of chickens out there. One of them is the Australorp which is am adorable, docile, friendly brown egg layer that makes a good starter chicken for ones flock. Well turns out we have found a chicken breeder in the foothills near Georgetown that has this bread, as well as the Ameraucana and a Maran. I am eagerly waiting for a call from her to set up a time to go see the girls.
Finally the patter of little feet in the garden. Clucking, bocking, just knocking about the yard, and learning to sit in Mommy's lap. There are videos on You Tube all over the Internet of chickens cuddling, talking and playing with their owners. It is so dang cute. And they are talking the whole time.
Turns out there are many many chicken lovers, and many many chicken-lovers newsletters out there. You can get answers and advice for any question you might have about your girls. This weeks Publishers Weekly reports that along with dogs and cats, the number of books on chickens has been growing for several years, especially books about backyard chickens. Domestic raising of chickens has increased and those of us backyard chicken wranglers want to keep our chickens healthy and happy. I love the book "Chicken Health for Dummies." I love the title: Once Upon Flock: My Life With Some Soulful Chickens. I have got to get that book.
