The first ladies have made it to the white house!

So my friends, Jeanne and David decided to take up chickens. Yep. That's right. We're all getting inspired by chickens and their personalities and of course, their yummy eggs. So they moved their 8 Golden Comet hens into their new home. David built it. It's gorgeous. It even has a solar panel for the automatic door! Each hen is named after a first lady. I don't have the list... but how cute is that?! So here ya go folks. Some great shots of their new home, here in Ohio.

Today, the hens turn 1! Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Chickens!

Wind up and lay!

Hope everyone had a happy Easter!

5 eggs from 5 chickens!

Well, I am thinking that Sookie, our chicken that was sick last year, has layed an egg. We never thought she would lay.

We have 5 hens and this past weekend, I went out to the coop and found 5 distinctly different eggs!

How cool is that!?

It's that time of year again...

they totally gross me out...

• Each Easter season, Americans buy more than 700 million Marshmallow Peeps, shaped like chicks, as well as Marshmallow Bunnies and Marshmallow Eggs, making them the most popular non-chocolate Easter candy.
• As many as 4.2 million Marshmallow Peeps, bunnies, and other shapes can be made each day.
• In 1953, it took 27 hours to create a Marshmallow Peep. Today it takes six minutes.
• Yellow Peeps are the most popular, followed by pink, lavender, blue, and white.

Formation of an egg

Those are egg yolks that are maturing and then it goes into the oviduct and a day later out pops an egg! Sick. But cool at the same time.

Make 17 Meals from One Chicken

Yep, 1 chicken! However, I am not eating mine. Mine are for eggs. But this is pretty interesting!
