Chickens

Seeing as how I've started something with crummy pet posts here is another one. I keep chickens for the fresh eggs, occasional meat and mostly to give away because chickens are the best Christmas present here. Right now I've got three mothers with seven chicks at various ages. It has become rather time consuming getting everyone fed, keeping the mothers from killing each other (they can't tell their chicks apart) and convincing the cat he needs to go hunt something else.

The youngest three. 

A slow hatcher. 

Team work.

Hoping a chicken nugget will escape.
