Birthday, Eggs, and Baby Chicks

Got up early this morning realizing now I am half a century old, it was very hard to get out of bed Cindy actually had to come in and drag me into an upright position and feed me some food to get me to come around, helping me to my feet and making sure I was alright before turning me loose to walk by myself, OK this had nothing to do with my age but a low blood sugar morning which turned into a good one after the glucose level was back up.

Right after breakfast we went out to feed the still nameless chicken Cindy adopted and in the small little house I built for her she had dug out a little nest and inside there it was the very first egg since she has been here, Cindy is now in the egg business and she was so excited that we had to make a run to the feed store and Cindy is now the proud owner of six baby chicks, so as many of you predicted the baby chicks that were indeed in our future are now here and the Chicken Business is coming to light for Cindy and I.

When Cindy’s Dad saw the egg he stated that she must be a Happy Chicken since she is now laying eggs, I now predict the nameless chicken will be called Happy.

After going to lunch with Cindy’s Mom and Dad for my Birthday we headed out to Norco, Ca and I actually got myself a new straw hat and a couple pairs of wranglers so now I am set up for a while, I suppose I should stop giving Cindy a hard time about needing a new hat, these were some of my birthday items and along with all the birthday wishes from Family and Friends my day was Great, Thank You all.

  11. Okay...I knew this chicken thing was going to grow. I am telling you soon you will be having an egg stand on the side of the road trying to get rid of all the extras that Happy and her fellow egg-laying cohorts lay. I am sure very soon you will be so sick of scrambled, sunny side up, over easy eggs not to mention omlettes...maybe we wil call your house Eggland soon. at least eggs don't raise blood sugar!! I am so glad you had a wonderful birthday!!

  12. "maybe we will call your house Eggland soon"

    That just may be coming Susie Ha Ha, if she continues laying at the rate she is going now I will have to invest in some pallets to store the crates. This is going to be fun.
