I need to take the time to introduce you to the newest members of our family.  They are two new chickens. First there is Little Millie she is a Mille Fluer bantam chicken.  She was a spur of the moment purchase at the Tractor Supply Store.  They had a "market" for poultry and farm animals and we found this little one there.

Actually we were returning from picking up our planned family member, a Dominique rooster formerly known as Bert.  That is a great name but we renamed him Peter Jennings.  So our new rooster is Bert, aka, Peter Jennings.  He is a great guy.  We went to Clinton to pick him up.  His previous owner took really good care of him but he crows a lot and crows really loudly.  We don't have a problem with that so we have a wonderful new family member.  

I don't know what is going on out in the chicken yard but there has been a heck of lot of crowing going on.  I went out a few minutes ago and they were all flocked up together all cozy and happy.
