We also drop off six-packs of eggs when we're overwhelmed. Predators? Yes.

And slightly insane. Chicks in the bathroom????<br /><br />Ah yes, the rustic years. Even before we bought acreage next to Granny, there was the great chicken/turkey ordeal. Granny wanted "her" birds in the freezer. So one sunny day the entire family gathered to harvest the birds. The kids squealed over the occasional headless chicken rush, feathers covered the yard, the kids, the adults. . . That would have been okay, but my now ex-husband ruined one of my best chef knifes trying to chop off a turkey's head. Hmmm, maybe that's when the idea of divorcing him was born.<br /><br />Then came acreage, cows, horses, more damn chickens (thankfully no more turkeys), ducks, quail, and peafowl.<br /><br />When I moved back to my desert home, I tried having a garden again. Didn't work, so I've fallen back to tomatoes in pots on the porch.<br /><br />And no more chickens!<br />Diane Halehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07232621705007156159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-79145517958415336292012-11-15T11:30:48.069-05:002012-11-15T11:30:48.069-05:00Wow, Judy, You are sure not afraid to try anything...Wow, Judy, You are sure not afraid to try anything new!
