Our life here is starting to get so busy that I sometimes forget just how many animals we have. Let's see... twenty-two chickens, two goats, a cat who won't stop talking, a dog that is totally spoiled, and a guinea pig. I mainly am in charge of the goats, a show/dairy goat named Covergirl and her friend, Joey. Most of the time I don't even think about our chickens. But when I do go see them, that makes it all the more suprising. And my goodness are they growing!!!!
This is a chick named Nadia because when she was younger, she looked like a little Russian girl with a fur hat, scarf and coat. Now I think she looks, well, just odd.
This is one of my chicks on the cardboard perch. She's a big bully.And for some reason, she keeps on being a bully no matter how many times I tell her to stop.
This chick is named Hawk, but I am thinking that might be changed to Cock(rooster). He, I mean she, is much larger than the other chicks of his, her, type. Plus, they gave us a free chick. I'm going to check. Hopefully it is going to be a henand not a rooster. We'll see.
Life here is simply country.

My goodness... they are growing really fast aren't they. Such fun it will be to collect farm fresh eggs from our sweet hens. I love how they all want to come and see you when you lift the side up. They are sooo curious. You did a great job on the post and I am sure glad that you are doing updates on our life here in the country :)
Oops.. I didn't realize that I was commenting using your account. Just letting everyone know that you are not talking (commenting) to yourself. Sorry about that!
Hi there! How wonderful to find this blog! What a surprise, and I'm so honored to be one of the first to comment!
Those chicks are so darn cute, thank you so much for filling us all in on life in the country.
I can imagine how busy those animals keep you. We just inherited two dogs, and they are a LOT of work! Poor Cokie gets forgotten about sometimes!
You are such a good writer, I look forward to more!
Hip Hip Hooray, your blog is up and it looks so good! I'm very proud of you, but yeah, you know that—right! Blogging is lots of fun, especially when you get "fans" that leave you comments! Way to go. And the Russian-looking chicken cracks me up.
Great Blog - good job. It is fun to see you with your own space on the blog site. Good photos and thanks for the up date.
Papa
I looked at your pictures again, and oh-my-gosh the chickens are growing so fast. Let's see, they are six weeks old, right? So that means they go live in the gorgeous chicken coop in another week if I remember right. Will it be warm enough?
I'm so happy you're blogging!!! Hip Hip Hurray! Now I know what's going on in your neck of the country now that Grammie has moved up north for the summer. I can't believe how big those chicks are -- you have some doozies too! Love the Russian girl. Keep up the blogging and I'll keep reading!
Somehow my display name got set to "Life is Good" so I've reset it, and this is a test! I love you to bits, keep up the good work!
I sure like seeing a blog from you karahlv. You are a really good writer and those pictures are so good also! That Nadia looks like a queen of a chicken! This will be so fun to see what your life is like now that your doing the "country life". Look forward to more of your blogs.
Hi KL!
R says: Nadia should be renamed "Rocker Chick" or "Mohawk."
What do you think?
We have a rocker chick, a Mottled Sultan named Salsh. This time I am talking to myself, or more of answering middleamericamom.
