On September 5, 2006  A friend from work gave me 2 Chickens.  They hatched from their eggs on September 3, 2006.

 

                

                   

Meet Mario (black one) and Princess Peach (brown one)!

 


                        

The kids loved them!  Their dad DID NOT:-(

 

As Soon as they were old enough, I built them a cage and put them outside.


They grew fast!  Here they are after a month!


 In February it got very cold so I created a water heater so their drinking water wouldn't freeze:-)

Soon it became obvious Mario was really a Maria.  Thank goodness, because if she were a rooster Shawn would have kicked it out.


In March Princess Peach started to lay eggs.


                      

She started to get "Broody"

Very, Very Mean!

So my friend at work brought me a fertile egg.

 She took it right away and sat on it (and 6 non fertile ones) for 21 days.



Maria was very lonely:-(

 

But on 6/20/2007 she got some company!

Princess Peach is a very proud Mom!

To bad Shawn won't let us keep this one:-(



Does anyone want it?  :-)
