Chickens

This past spring we got three one-day-old chicks; Mohawk, Einstein and CarmelBob. Every night we would take them out of the cardboard box on the kitchen floor and watch them walk around the table. They were so cute! However, it wasn't long before they outgrew their box and their cute stage (teenage chickens are really ugly - but you're safe since we didn't take any pictures). This summer two of them started laying and we had blue and green eggs, which compensated some for them eating the lettuce and green beans from our garden. Mohawk is actually still laying for us (which we greatly appreciate, thank you Mohawk). The other two are also safe from the stew pot as we get great entertainment out of watching them peck around our backyard and watching Percy play with them (honest, if the wanted to, they could just run away from him, but they don't). I hope they don't learn how to use the dog door!
