EEEEK! Chickens in the house!

I was busy updating the blog, when I turned around to find the dog inside (should've been outside!) and then heard clucking coming from the hallway!

Aaargh! Chickens inside!!!

Our chooks are free-range but not so free-range that they're allowed inside! I now have a fair bit of poop to clean up off the carpet!!! Grrrr! Funny though!!

attack of the chickens...

In light of what happened, when I let the chickens out of their hutch today, may I present to you this very funny you tube video!



Now, that's funny, but having two of my chickens gang up on me this morning wasn't! One of them was able to leave a bruise on my wrist when I wasn't able to dodge the pecking quick enough. Scary stuff!!! And perhaps it makes you think twice about having chickens in your back yard!!!

chooks...

Last Friday, I posted about how much I love the fresh eggs my chooks lay for us. Then, we had a 3 day drought of no eggs at all, murphy's law I guess. Paisley Jade commented on that post that her chicken's weren't laying either, and I began to wonder if there was something going on that I didn't know about...


Then today they began laying again and we had 2 very beautiful brown eggs! YUM! Aimee had them for her lunch... Nothing quite like eating eggs laid that very same day!

BTW, Kristy, I have no idea what type of chickens we have - they're just ordinary brown feathered chooks that we got when the girls had calf club day at their school. :)

UPDATE; After Little Miss Flossy's comment I now believe that my chickens are Rhode Island Red's :)

Favourite things Friday...

Almost forgot to post about this...
and so with 2 more hours left of Friday, I'll get this in as quick as I can!

One of my most favourite things at the moment is fresh eggs from my three gorgeous chooks!


No, they don't lay that many eggs, only one each a day! But I will say one thing, their eggs are delicious and worth the time spent caring for the chooks...

NOTE; It seems that the word chook is a kiwi one - it just means chicken... ;)

finally...

some eggs!

We have been waiting what feels like forever, for our chickens to lay some eggs. Aimee was out checking on the chickens after dinner when she spied THREE EGGS in their bedding area! We are all very excited about having our own home-produced FRESH eggs!!!
