One Year Old

Today is the "hatchday" of our three chickens, Rosie, Daisy and Dot. Last year we went out to Canby on Sunday August 10th to pick up our two-day-old chickens. They were still egg shaped they were so young. We kept them in a cardboard box with a heating bulb in the basement directly below our basement and went to sleep listening to them peep, peep, peep.



And now they are one year old and producing an egg each a day. And boy do they let us know when they have laid their egg. They proudly announce every morning after they lay. Well Rosie and Dot do. Daisy typically lays in the afternoon.

So happy hatchday chickens!!!
