After careful inspection of the Snowblower and given thought to what being harnessed to that machine might mean, the Chickens did the quick March back to the Coop planning a Coup! However, after thorough talks, and careful consideration, They’ve decide it’s a job better left to the Goats… or … rather… One Old Goat!

Jack Visits Jack

Our friend come by the other day, with Her Grand Son Jack. We introduced Jack to our Cockerel, Jack! Then realized that the Homestead we now call Briden Farm used to belong to yet another Jack! Perhaps the title really should be “Jack Meets Jack At Jack’s”. 

While here, Jack (The Grandson) also got to meet our other Chickens and Goats! A fun time was had by all, including Jack’s Grandmother, Angela McMullen of ForestWriting.com or more officially known, at least by Jack, as  “Grangela”. So, We also want to say thanks to Grangela for taking the Photos!

New Hen Lays 8 Eggs in 9 Days
Her eggs are getting bigger, and are nearly as big as a Large White Store Bought Egg! You can see by the picture that the eggs are getting bigger too! My guess is she’ll be laying Jumbos before long!
