Chickens have arrived!

Barefoot in the wilderness
in search of understanding

One reason for blog silence here lately has been the imminent arrival of chickens. Yes, we’re now chicken owners. And, in a couple of weeks, they’ll start laying eggs for us to eat. :-D

Here are (from left to right) Martha, Lola and Kirsty. (Everyone else in the family chose the names. I wanted Butch, Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, but that got vetoed!)

They’re living in an Eglu, a very up-to-the-minute style chicken house, all in nice easy-to-clean plastic! And for exercise area, they have an old greenhouse that’s lost its glass and instead been wrapped in chicken wire.
