She always bought Rhode Island Reds as chicks and we ate the young roosters and the three or four hens she kept in the railroad spur behind our house. She would pick them up and pet them and every morning she would go out and get the eggs--just two or three jubilant with her harvest!Berniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10189300487828240620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-89457773941500387152011-03-08T19:22:44.934-08:002011-03-08T19:22:44.934-08:00Nice post.

I love thei chickens there. They lay eggs, stay close to home and sometimes we find new birds that have been dropped off by neighbors. I guess they know that we will also take good care of their former pets. They also eat a lot of the pesky bugs in the farmyard.Lori at Jarvis Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11228446681174977809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-58610964474434635952011-03-08T09:50:30.780-08:002011-03-08T09:50:30.780-08:00Max is certainly a dashing addition to the hen hou...Max is certainly a dashing addition to the hen house and I'm sure will keep all the girls on their toes.<br /><br />Interesting info about the coin, - what a treasure!Hildredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420791064923078834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-62386801723213442932011-03-08T09:38:16.021-08:002011-03-08T09:38:16.021-08:00Maximillian Buff-Orpington, he must surely be an a...Maximillian Buff-Orpington, he must surely be an aristocrat! He is very handsome and sure to settle in with his ladies. The moth is beautiful, though I don't like it when they flap about around my head on summer nights when the window is open and I'm reading in bed!
