...we have four chickens--PET chickens--we love them. Three are buff orpingtons (chicky, chicky, and chicky) and the other is the black australorp named Pip. They give us eggs and we give them all kinds of juicer pulp treats and let them run free in our yard and sometimes carry them around and scratch them right between their shoulder blades (wing blades?). We even let them come in and say hello when the weather is too nice to keep the door shut. We aren't going to eat them...not even going to just freeze them so we can always have them near...nope. We are going to find them a new home. I worry though that no home will love them like we do (I also worry that times are tough and someone may get desperate for some cheap protein). Until then, we are going to spoil them rotten and take lots of pictures and start interviewing for potential adoptive families...
want some chickens?
When we moved, parting with my dear chickens was one of the hardest parts too. Some people didn't get it but obviously you do. I hugged and kissed my sweet rooster "Handsome" when I finally handed him off to his new owners. As long as you find good homes for them, your thoughts will be full of happiness when you think of your chickens.
ReplyDeleteAwww! They are so adorable! You will find a good home for them. How could someone resist? If I didn't live on the road I would scoop them up in a heart beat! In the meantime enjoy the time you have with them and continue to spoil them rotten!! =0)
