I think I'd like to try getting some new chicks and separate them with Henry and see what happens. <br /><br />The kids would love that! Maybe one day... :o)<br /><br />Kelli-- Hi! Welcome! So sorry to hear about your Bill Henry and the girls. We lost 3 to a predator-- most likely a fox and I was quick to finish the coop the next day. So far so good-- knock on wood. Have you heard of McMurrayHatchery.com? I've never ordered from there, but I have friends who did and they were pretty pleased with their chickens. I will be ordering from them in the future.<br /><br />Mmmm! Blackberry dumplings! You'll have to share the recipe!jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772053505930801670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-19649669085643137422009-07-16T00:38:09.710-04:002009-07-16T00:38:09.710-04:00hey.

The berry picking and surprise fondness for chickens are posts that I have made recently myself. :) I'm trying to get enough berries for blackberry dumplings. Bill Henry was the name of the rooster who kept our girls in check. They were all killed by a predator some weeks ago. We are left with our one rooster Roy, who we can't bring ourselves to butcher for the meat - though we probably should. Today, we plan on searching for more chickens. Anyway, I really enjoy your blog, and will be back.

They have one rescued from KFC slaughterhouse and this one is so big compared to the others due to steroids.<br /><br />While the decision is ultimately yours, it's a thought just in case :)Enjoy your time with Henry and the others.

It's amazing how animals come into our lives and change them. <br /><br />Dj-- :o) No funds necessary. Thanks hon. xo<br /><br />Carol-- I can be like that sometimes, too, taking a long time to reply to emails. You don't want to know how long it takes me to send off 'thank you' cards!! <br /><br />I like how the swings give me free time inside the house!! :o) Hooray for swings!<br /><br />Karen-- Oh I know, it's personal for me, too. I just wanted to make clear that we intended for the chickens to provide us with food. We'll be keeping Henry for the time being. :o)jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772053505930801670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-90755917732786811192009-07-14T06:58:10.613-04:002009-07-14T06:58:10.613-04:00Hmmm... the problem is that you humanized the roos...Hmmm... the problem is that you humanized the rooster, making more more personal to the readers and commenters.

They don't overlap, do they?<br /><br />I felt sort of the same way about a rabbit we once had, though <i> she</i> was never intended to be food. I never knew rabbits had such personality, but this one was a doozy. When she got ill, I took her to the vet--and cried when she died in my arms.Stephanie Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01613883248899266708noreply@blogger.com
