crazychicknladyI've read somewhere that the average homeowner doesn't stay in the home longer than five years. Funny thing averages. We've been here 11 years. Our three closest neighbors were here before we moved in and until last Friday they were all still here.
Unfortunately, for us, our favorite ones moved to be closer to the grandbaby. We had both a love of fruit trees and birds in common with one member of the couple. As it turns out, he had three Araucanas left of what had once been a very expansive flock. Since he couldn't find anyone else to take them, I now have three new Araucanas. Due to one of them being a rooster, I've set them up in Mocha and Peanut's yard, away from our other flock of chickens. They seem to have settled in well, and I finally have a use for the elevated nesting boxes a different neighborhood gave us over a year ago after she decided to be done raising guineas. Well, once I flipped it upside down.
Mocha and Peanut insisted on photo bombing my pictures of the new birds.
