JK

So, today when I woke up I was the proud mom of five chickens.

Five.

John, Ray, Mu’Reigh, Wendy and Harvey.

But alas, life is always ALWAYS changing.

I got a text from a friend who “saved” a baby chick from 700 of her peers. This chick had a bloody/pecked on toe… and you guys, I hate to say it, but chickens are vicious at times. They are drawn to blood, they kill each other if there is blood involved.

you can see the bloody toe :(

you can see the bloody toe :(

This friend took the chick she named J.K. Rowling home in her hat! Too cute. She called and told me the situation and of course, I had to adopt her. I had to. There was no choice involved. I love her already.

I’m actually typing one-handed now, because she only stops chirping like crazy when I hold her…and she jumps right into my hand.

Needless to say…. I am in love.

  2. JK is SO cute! It always made me so sad how mean chickens can be. :( I am glad this little girl is in a happy home.
