The mother load

So, as many of you know, we recently got 6 chickens.  I like to call them our Rescue Chickens because we got them from this guy who had them all living in a dog cage and had to use an old crummy laundry basket to nest in.  And there was hardly any space for them all so they just sat there and plucked each others feathers out!  So, when Katie and Scott got there to pick them up after talking to the guy on the phone, how could we NOT take them!  One was left behind - a white one - because the neighbor was going to eat it.  Who are these people!?

Anyway, it is easy to tell them apart based on how many tail feathers they have (or don't have)!  So far, I think their names are as follows (and Scott and I had nothing to do with this naming...you guess and see if you can figure out who named them!) Goldilocks, Beauty, Bravest, Brave, Favorite, Scratchy.

Actually, Hunter came up with the first one!

So, they all seem really happy.  It is exciting for all of us to go over and see how many eggs there are.  One egg today was so big we could not even close the egg carton!

And it looks like their tail feathers are starting to grow back!
