When we moved to the Okanagan onto a modest acreage, we decided to have chickens. We only wanted sufficient to supply our household with eggs. We got six chicks, hubby built them a property (with sliding windows) painted white, a chain link run with a wire leading to it so they had been protected by the hawks, owls and eagles. They all grew up wellness and satisfied and laid enough each day to provide three families. 1 by one particular they grew old and died, finally leaving Henrietta. Henrietta wasn’t lonely though, she made friends with the quail and shared her feed with them. What a character she was! Each and every morning she came out of her tiny residence and flapped her wings to greet the morning. She laid her final egg when she was 10 years old. She died when she was 10 1/two years old. If I had known how to make chicken diapers I do believe that she would have spent her older years with us in the home. 5s for this delightful lens!
