bye bye birdie.

did you know we had chickens? yes, five barred rock hens.

two years ago, tom surprised me with day old chicks & a coop from here.

I fell in love with chickens at our visits to the farm.

I love the sounds they make.

I love the eggs they make.

and I love just watching them peck around in our backyard.

but, the dust bathing. grass destroying. crack of dawn cries.

were anything but pleasant to my hubby.

and as much as I loved them, I love my hubby more.

so the chickens had to go. sniff sniff.

trent explained everything to the hens, 

and then a sweet farmer came to pick them up.

bye bye birdies.
