sad chicken news

so a few days ago we lost one of our adult chickens. i hope it was just old age. but we went out to feed them and i only counted seven chickens eating. so i started looking for the last one because whittnee a few days earlier had shut the pen gate and one did not make it in for the night and had to sleep outside the coop. i could not find it. then Natalie found it in the hen house. it was laying down with its eyes closed and not with us anymore. i hope it was not in much pain. we have only had the chickens for a few months and it was sad to loose one. the hen was old i am sure it was her time. thanks chicken for the eggs given.

speaking in church

yesterday we had to speak in sacrament meeting. we had the topic of strengthening families. i feel it when really well. Kennedy and whitnee both gave little talks. Kirsten sang a song. Natalie and i also spoke. good job Natalie on helping the girls and giving your talk. Natalie was so stressed out to the point i thought she was going to throw the computer out the window. she really brought the spirit in and i think we got our thoughts out to the ward.

chicks man

so i was feeding the chickens the other day and i thought to myself. man if we lost a chicken to what ever we would be down on the egg count fast. we get about 5 to 7 eggs a day. we take what we cannot eat and sell them for 2 dollars a dozen. the kids take the money and put it in there Disney land jar. so far we have made like 32 dollars or so. if we lost the some chickens, and we had to start over it would takes like six months min for a chick to be old enough to lay eggs. so we went over to the old IFA and got 12 new chicks. so they are a ton of fun to watch. they are just like kids. and they make a ton of noise. but we like them.
