Mostly about my backyard chickens. (Boring, I know), but there are a lot of us out here. Mine are only kept as pampered pets. I could eat a neighbor's chicken, but not MINE. There may be a comment on current events only if I get riled up enough. And there will always be a cartoon or a joke to cheer us. I promise to try my very best to respond to comments. Now I have to figure out how this blogger thingy works....

Dirt Baths
Amos and Andy continue to pal around together all the time. Sometimes Charlie joins them during the day when they take their dirt baths. Ethel and Lucy use the same spot each day and chase anyone who tries to use it. Goldie tries to join them but they peck at him until he leaves. The more he tries to join in, the more he is pecked at. Even when I had other chickens, these two always stayed together.
Chickens need a place to dirt bathe every day if possible. It keeps away mites and they just love it! I found this short video so you can see how much they enjoy it!
Goldie will use the hole that the other roosters use after they finish. I know he would like to join Ethel and Lucy. Maybe when he is older and king of the coop! We'll just have to wait and see.
