I enjoyed my chickens when I had them and mated my Rhode Island Red rooster with my Araucana hen. Rhode Island Reds lay brown eggs and Araucanas lay blue eggs.
When her chicks grew up, they laid green eggs. Everyone thought they were duck eggs.
When you do get chickens, try it.

Hi, loved the post michelle…I have to comment about the chicken’s dying…so sad. I can definitely understand you won’t want to go through that again. It’s really hard to find a cure for a chicken disease if you don’t know exactly what the cause is. Most people don’t realize that chickens can die or get disease from a chicken coups that are damp and cold. Or that if they are not cleaned out regularly that this can also contribute to disease. A lot of disease can be prevented with having the right chicken coup conditions. Years ago you could just put up any old coup made of tin and bits of wood but the world has changed with the introduction of bird flu, antibiotics , hormones etc. http://thechickencoups.com/backyard-chicken-coups

I like people who tell the truth. I like you:-) Hope you check out my Social Network and download my Free ebook and give me your honest opinion; It’s a Biblically Based Fiction account of the 40 days Jesus spent with his disciples after his Resurrection. I am not a religious nut! I am passionate about truth and GOD… I discovered linking on my own by accident. I know just enough about Internet marketing to be dangerous.lol Enough for now I’m a going to read your pdf. download.
Thanks.

Sarah and I grew up in the foothills (Foresthill and Cool)of the Sierras and it is a perfect place to raise kids.
We raised five who are now scattered all over the country with kids of their own.
Great Memories!
Sorry about your chickens…

@Jim: What an amazing story Jim – thanks for sharing. Sounds like he liked you maybe just for the reason that you didn’t know who he was… He got to have a “normal” conversation with you. Incredible story!

While reading your 25 things I came across you stating one of your favorite authors being John Steinbeck. Over the years I met him many times when he would come and stay at his sister’s place in Watsonville. When I was a kid I lived across the street from his sister (Ester Rogers). She lived on a large place very close to down town. Had a lot of fruit trees and a large garden. She used to give me 50¢ for every gopher I would catch. One time she had a couple of owls living in a old water tower in her back yard yard and she would pay me to keep the Owl Pellets that dropped cleaned up.
Anyway…. John kept to himself, but would we would talk from time to time…Don’t remember about what. I was about 12 then. We move away (to Oroville) in 1959. After high school graduation I moved back to Watsonville and lived with my dad while I went to college in Santa Cruz. I ended up working for a grocery store that was right next to John’s sisters house. When John would come to visit, often he would call the store and ask for me. I would put his order together and deliver. No one else was allowed to make those deliveries. I just find it interesting that I would have these long talks with him and it was later in life I finally figured out who he was. I just knew him as Mrs. Rogers brother. This was in the early-mid 60′s
