I haven't mentioned my chickies in a while, so I thought I would touch base on them. Each day I am blessed to see their cute little feathered faces. I love that they are so awake when I get out to their coop with their grain, water, straw and treats, that they are squawking and bawking away. At times when I am not awake enough it gets to be a lot to take in with three or four of them in my face clucking. Sometimes I make up conversation with them...ok...all the time...alright...every day :)
It is amazing to see such a simple animal be so happy and bring me such joy. They don't always get along perfectly in their hen house and coop. But, let's be real, have you ever lived with anyone in close quarters and go along perfectly? Exactly.
Most days I do get eggs from them, and every time you will hear me thank them. Now that the grass is getting green I will wander my friends yard and pick a couple of big handfuls for them. Once they see me picking grass they will chatter and pace their little pen. They love grass and it is fun to watch them eat it.
I think their favorite treats are pancakes, grapes, bread and French fries. Oh...and chips, it is pretty cute to watch them dive into a small pile of chips I gathered from a restaurant I went to the night before.
I am forever thankful for these little hens. They gave me a reason to laugh when I would cry. They gave me a reason to get out of bed when I had no aspiration to live. They are sweet, funny and I love them with all of my heart. I pray to God every day for the opportunity to own my own place where I can set up a nice big coop, with a beautiful hen house and be able to enjoy them when I step outside. Thankfully, my friend is kind enough to allow me to have them in her backyard. It doesn't stop me from hoping there will be a day when I am blessed with being able to step out the door and see them like I once did not that long ago.
