New Kids on the Block

Yum
It seems as though every year there is something that changes our plans on adding chickens to the flock. This year, my parents were going to raise our chicks, along with theirs, until they were old enough to bring home.


But... things changed and we had to bring ours home early, along with my parents giving us their chicks.  They were a little younger than we had planned on them being, but old enough that the blending of flocks went smoothly.


Now, we have 17 chickens. That's a lot of chickens in my world.


I have wanted an Ancona hen for several years, and I "think" I finally have one! Annie is definitely an Ancona, however we are not sure that she is a hen. She just might be a rooster than will have a name change to Andy.

Meet Annie (or Andy)

Lot's of pictures coming to share with you on the new flock. My wonderful husband surprised me with a new laptop for my birthday, so I have been working on getting everything loaded. 
I am loving that I am struggling less in my daily online activities!
