My new chickens


After a string of extremely bad luck I've finally managed to hatch some eggs. I must have set about 50+ eggs over four attempts to get these 6 chicks.

It's taken me 4 or more months since I started the project to find success. Recently, a friend joked about eating the chickens. "Are you crazy!" I said. "They are the most expensive chickens in the world. " It's not that I'm sentimental. I'm pragmatic. And these aren't eatin' chickens anyway. They are a fancy rare breed of ornamental chicken. (I bet you didn't even know such a thing existed)
