There was a man driving down the highway going about 55 miles per hour when this chicken with three legs began running beside him. He decided to speed up to 65 miles per hour, but the chicken stayed right beside him. So he sped up to 75 miles per hour, but still the chicken stayed with him. He came up to a fork in the road and the three-legged chicken went left and ran into a farm yard. Curious, the man decided to investigate so he pulled up to the farm and got out of his car. He noticed that the yard was full of three-legged chickens running around at high speeds. Still curious, the man went up and knocked on the door of the house and the farmer came out. The man asked the farmer, "How did you get all these three-legged chickens?" "Well," the farmer stated, "I have a family of three, and we all like the drumsticks, so I decided to engineer some chickens with three legs so everyone is happy." "How do they taste?" the man asked. "Well," the farmer said, "don't know, haven't been able to catch one yet."

 

We thoroughly enjoy our egg laying friends!  They're fun to observe and have become entertainment as they chase each other and develop their pecking order!  We have chickens, turkeys and guineas and all are free ranged!  We have about 60 chickens and there are only about 12 of them are laying eggs.  We get about 6 - 8 eggs a day.

We invested in an incubator and have hatched several batches of eggs and there are usually young chicks somewhere around.  We take photos all along the process and will post some of them here! 

Come back and check it out!
