Believe it or ...Hi Tammy - Thanks for stopping in! Believe it or not, that small egg weighed in at .4 ounces. A few weeks later, I actually found one that was only .2 ounces! It's sitting in a basket now on my kitchen sill - it is SO small!<BR/><BR/>Thank you, Tracey!!<BR/><BR/>Hi the7MSN - Would that this were true. I could sure use the cash from a bestseller right now. :-)<BR/><BR/>Hey Marigold - Yup, I'm saving all my peanuts for my goats...or a visit from you!<BR/><BR/>Hi CeeCee - I know! I feel so fortunate - and lucky...many more experienced chicken owners lost a number of chicks/pullets over the last year. <BR/><BR/>Hi Jenny!! Your Poppy is quite the photogenic one. I think that picture should be entered in a contest or made into a poster! It makes me happy that I make you laugh! :-)<BR/><BR/>Hi ABCC: Uh oh...4 roosters? I don't know what I would have done! Do they offer sexed chickens in Australia or do you get straight-run only and keep your fingers crossed?<BR/><BR/>Hey Claire - Thank you!!Dannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623233206043947281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845299642721912499.post-88285721709596285662009-03-08T15:28:00.000-07:002009-03-08T15:28:00.000-07:00Hi Farmer Jen - The chickens and I both thank you ...Hi Farmer Jen - The chickens and I both thank you for the birthday wishes and I thank you for the sweet e-card you sent me. I had a lovely day. :-)<BR/><BR/>Hey CalifoniaGrammy - It's so amazing to me that they're a year old already!<BR/><BR/>Hi Sarah - I know, it's crazy. A year of you watching my chickens getting big and me watching Hannah, Ains, and Grayson growing up!<BR/><BR/>Hey Pat - thanks for the bday wishes and your very kind words! <BR/><BR/>Howdy GreyWolf - No cake, but the chickens did get some festive leftover rice. From the way they reacted, this was at least as good as cake!<BR/><BR/>Hi Eve - We've been reading each other for a long time now, haven't we? We're building quite a history!<BR/><BR/>Hey Mim, I can't believe you never got those squishy things! If I ever get another one, I'll be sure to stick it in a jar and mail it to you. :-)<BR/><BR/>Hi Tara - I wish you hang with chickens for a day or two - I think all your fear of birds would be gone. Roopert can be a bit of a puffed up dweeb sometimes, but the girls are gentle sweetie pies. They do jump for treats sometimes, though, so you have to be ready for a shoulder-level hen every now and again. lol<BR/><BR/>Hey Mellimaus - Isn't it funny, last year at this time, I had the chicks and you had the big hens, now it's the reverse! <BR/><BR/>Hi Egghead - So do your hens help you with basic carpentry around the coop, too? :-)Dannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623233206043947281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845299642721912499.post-54965987866748183342009-03-08T14:38:00.000-07:002009-03-08T14:38:00.000-07:00Congratulations girls!
