Nicole brought me a dozen little pullet eggs their hens are laying.
It’s been about 13 years since Vince and I got our first chickens so that means Chad was about 20. He was off at college, coming home on weekends and I think us having backyard chickens was about the most embarrassing thing that we ever did. He wanted no part of our chickens and the only “good” thing was that we had put the chicken coop on a lot we bought that was behind our lot so it actually kinda looked like they belonged to someone else.
Now, Chad has his own chickens and he loves those chickens just like I always loved my chickens. They all have names. He had too many and gave some to a friend and I think he still misses those chickens.
It really feels like we’ve come full circle with the chickens and eggs.
It’s nice to be getting good eggs, even though I don’t have my own chickens. There are people a few houses down from us, in the same subdivision, who have geese. You know what I’m thinking! You know what Vince is NOT thinking!

Hahaha! Yes, I can imagine what Vince is thinking! 🙂 We got some eggs from a farm near us last summer that didn’t have quite a full dozen chicken eggs, so she filled in the rest with duck eggs. Hubby and I both prefer the chicken eggs. Don’t know what it was about them, but we just didn’t like the duck eggs.

I’m just thinking . . if they can have ducks; I can have chickens.

But Geese can be mean!!
Judy Laquidara says
I don’t want geese but I’m saying that if they can have geese, shouldn’t I be able to have a few chickens?

My granddaughter was brought up a town girl. She married a farmer & they live on an acreage. First they got a puppy because she wanted a husky, he wanted a german shepard, so the got a husky-german shepard cross. Then they got some ducklings followed by some turkeys. Now they have a couple Nigerian Dwarf goats but, she wants alpacas too. Then she saw that they were having miniature Scotch Highland cattle for sale at the Exotic Animal Auction, which she also wanted but didn’t get. It’s like it snowballs. Beware. LOL
