Taken for a fool.

  So I went to my local feed store to pick their brains about the chickens not laying eggs and the gal there said that with it being winter, the fact that they are 4yrs old and the stress of the move they will probably not lay eggs right now and if they do start again in the spring or summer that it will be only a few eggs here and there. So it looks like we will be having chicken dinner for a while. I was really looking forward to seeing eggs in the morning sometime soon. But I will be getting chicks soon and will have eggs around September I guess.
  So today is the first day I opened the gate of the chicken pen. For some reason I pictured them running right out when I opened it (probably cause the goats alway did) but they just walked around as if nothing had changed. Figured I would give the girls a few minutes with our me looking over their wings every second.

 It seams that Sir. Bently has a thurst for the outside life now. Returning to the door every few minutes to shout out a new command hoping that it is the right one to open the door. Were as Miss. Shelby is content with getting a sniff of the outside but yet staying by me. I think she enjoys the prosses of telling me what she would like me to share with everyone here. She has told me with those sweet eyes of hers that it gives her a sense of importance. I keep trying to tell her that it is a very important job to keep my lap and my heart warm with her lil body and soul, yet she insists on doing more! Lovely little gal she is. My ruff, tuff Cheif enjoys her warmth from time to time as well, untill she decides it is time to see him jump and squirm. So she will lay with him and once she feels that he is relaxed and possibly asleep..... she does not move a mussle except to penitrait her sharpend lil claws right into his leg.
