I'm now at 31 chickens (the roos included) of different breeds, but I really wanted some of those super dark eggs, so I'll definitely get more of the BCM chicks next year.

Sparrows and starlings don't count, lol.<br /><br />Sadly, it means the dog only goes out with supervision for a while, because he killed a baby robin about a month ago. But it's warm enough now that he can't stay out too long anyway, especially since he won't sit in his wading pool. I'll sit in it instead.Rebekah Loperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09910220361720811916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023439581304993308.post-6943943495835740272015-07-06T12:39:40.159-05:002015-07-06T12:39:40.159-05:00Tell Greg happy birthday for me!

I think it's because he doesn't want to eat cake. But I rarely get it anymore, so I want to splurge! <br /><br />Cute bunnies! We used to have bunnies living under our deck. I haven't seen them for awhile (pretty much since we tore down our tree, which was next to the deck), so I'm guessing they found a better place to live.Stacy McKitrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898731847653710759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023439581304993308.post-84942840225522410322015-07-06T11:52:14.459-05:002015-07-06T11:52:14.459-05:00Bunnies are so cute when they're little.
