I can so understand how they are worth it, I sometimes think of all the work that goes into just having two kittens, my Daisy was the runt and gets all sorts of health problems and bugs but they are so adorable and I wouldn't be without them :-) <br />Lori xxHippywitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08369327805860838343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052723513986842570.post-57475528965652395832012-03-03T19:39:20.683+00:002012-03-03T19:39:20.683+00:00I am glad you like the chicken photograph and find...I am glad you like the chicken photograph and find their antics funny. We do like having our own eggs and we appreciate them. On to the matter of a chicken enclosure, these girls are so happy being at large it seems a shame to 'coop' them up. I am sure part of the reason they are so healthy is that they have a lot of freedom. On days where I work they maybe have two or three hours freedom, on the days that I am home they get six or seven hours. They take themselves to bed, I just lock them up for the night. Chickens have loads of personality and love to peck and scratch and eat a wide variety of plants and bugs. I chose to get them so I guess I feel a responsibility to keep them happy even though I maybe 'bit off more than I can chew' so to speak. I would also like goats and pigs but not in this small garden.....Intheskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15872933009509406305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052723513986842570.post-80955192706335657512012-03-03T15:49:25.645+00:002012-03-03T15:49:25.645+00:00Just out of curiosity - why don't you just bui...Just out of curiosity - why don't you just build an enclosure for the chickens?Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10808819296971082360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052723513986842570.post-43392113730123506812012-03-03T14:41:50.811+00:002012-03-03T14:41:50.811+00:00Well, we just do to our back yard what we need to ...Well, we just do to our back yard what we need to do. I would have more vegetable/flower beds and no lawn if it wasn't for the dogs...<br />If you see your back yard as a chicken yard with some veggies planted everything is all right, isn't it?<br />Your hens were cute and are beautyful now.

LOL! When we got ours I added up the cost of the chicken house and other accoutrements and figured that first egg had cost us over a thousand dollars. HA! And my free Alpaca? Now I need to buy a drum carder to card it all and those are about $600. heheheh... love my friend across the world..yes, that's you!
