Chickens!!


I've begun the "Great Catching Up." I would compare it to the "Great Migration" that Littlefoot makes to get to the Great Valley in the The Land Before Time. Why is that on my mind? Maybe because tonight I went to see my old friend, Tiana, and she has a ton of animals.

I have not been able to hang out with her in over a year. She moved back from Illinois and I was really sad that we couldn't get together because of my school work. Well, today was the first attempt at social-ness in a long time... and I went to see her and found that she is the mother to a whole flock of chickens, 2 geese, 3 cats, 1 dog, 2 fish, a flock of quail and various other pets, plants, and a grandma! :)

It was so good to catch up with her! Oh, friends, how I have missed you!

And she said she would give me a call when her chicks hatch- in about 3 weeks. I've never held a baby chicken before. The big ones are a little creepy. She had crazy chickens with big fluffy heads, and chickens with "fur" instead of feathers, and small chickens, and chickens that lay green eggs... ohhh.. chickens, where have you been all my life?!
