The Stray Chicken!

Most of the cats that we have owned in our lives, have been strays that have found there way to our house and claimed us. So we very familiar with strays. We have seen stray cats and dogs, but never before have we found a stray chicken! It seemed especially strange, because I already have chickens.

Today after lunch, we received a knock on the door from a neighbor informing us that one of my chickens were in there drive way. We checked our backyard real quick, and both of our chickens were back there. Knowing that it wasn't our bird, we were excited to see this chicken. We went to the neighbors drive way and there was a red hen searching for bugs. We had no idea whose chicken it could be. We were afraid it might get eaten by a dog, so I picked it up and took it home so it could be safe with my chickens. The chicken was wonderfully friendly and enjoyed Scott to hold it and pet it. Our chickens don't enjoy being touched, so Scott quickly bonded with his new found friend. We fed it and showed it the chicken coop, and it followed Scott around the yard for a while. Our chickens, Susquehanna and Laroo, were a bit upset with Scott bringing home a new lady. They voiced their discontent with angry little clucks. Fortunately, only one little fight between our chickens and the stray broke out.

We were not quit sure what to think. The neighbors were certain that she had been abandoned at my house because I already have chickens. We thought that she could be someones dearly loved bird, so we set out to find it rightful owners.

To Scott's great disappointment, we found the owners searching for their bird. It happens to be owned by a new kid that moved on to the street. He had just gotten the bird and doesn't have a coop for her yet. We look forward to staying friends with the little red hen as Scott had become quite attached.

Pie Time!

Nicole has never ever made an apple pie, and she always has been a little bit afraid of crust. This weekend, she has over come her fears and created a wonderful apple pie from scratch! The crust has a moon, a star, and a bat. I will be the first to say it was a success!

Scott loves the pie and keeps eating out of the dish with the knife.

Peanut Butter...GONE!

A while back we made post about Scott buying alot of peanutbutter at Target. Well, it is all gone. He finished it off. He even got two of the huge skippy peanutbutter jars for christmas and he ate all of those as well. The good news is now we bought Adams peanutbutter for a change because is much more healthy. (No sugar and oils)

Kennedy can blog!

Kennedy has decided that she too will be blogging. This weekend while we were in Logan with Mandy, Kennedy made a blog. It was totally her idea, and the blogs are unedited Kennedy material. I only helped her with questions she had while she was setting it up. She called her blog Kennedys Adventures!
