Last night, on the way home from work, Teresa stopped to pick up the 14 new baby chicks joining Silver Hill Farm. Upon arrival home, Piper proceeded to lick all of the chicks and then sat next to their box wagging her tail, with a distinct expression of pure joy on her face.
On the flip side, one of our Columbian hens has been going downhill fast. She started acting a little strange about a week ago. The past few days she was just sitting in the corner of the coop and not even roosting at night with the other hens. Thursday morning she did not even attempt to eat the bread that was thrown into them...not a good sign. Being the proactive people that we are, we decided we'd better process her, rather than let her die naturally and miss out on the meat! So last night at 8:30pm we found ourselves processing one of our favorite hens while being eaten alive my mosquitos.
You know the old saying, "Out with the old and in with the new!"
