LATEST ADDITION TO THE LAKE FAMILY



















We have Chickens! First we had worms,and now we have a ton of them!) and now we have chicks - soon to be chickens. I now need to read up on them and learn the whole chicken language. Like what's a cone? And do they sleep at all? But it will be fun. What started this was some of the nurses at work bring in fresh eggs from their chickens. What a difference in eggs! So that got me thinking and begging for a chicken coop and chickens. So my wonderful husband made me a beautiful coop and went and got chicks. We could have found older chickens but I thought it would be fun to start with chicks. The down side is that they won't lay eggs for 4 - 6 months from now. Which Dana says "I thought that was the whole reason for doing this - for the eggs! Not Pets!" I say "we've lived 50 years w/out fresh eggs we can live another 6 months. :)
