The girls are getting big, just eating and sleeping the summer away. I was grocery shopping and saw this beautiful watermelon slice and had to get it for the chickens. They are so used to getting treats now that they rush the gate when we try to come in the run. They come running out of the coop when we call to them. It's so cute! I think within a few weeks I'll have the first eggs.

I didn't know chickens liked watermelon either! How knowledgeable of you! I'm in awe :-)

I'm thinking of starting a community garden in our back yard and my neighbor suggested keeping chickens too - and having it on her property! Thinking about it...

If she's willing to house them you should definitely do it. That would be perfect since Matt isn't so keen on having them at your house.
