I guess Spring is really here. Aunt Betty called. She just checked out eight hens and one rooster from the chicken library where she lives up in Kansas. The rooster hangs out with his favorite hen, so Aunt Betty named them Bonnie and Clyde. I guess it’s not really a chicken library, but that’s how it works for Aunt Betty. She has a deal worked out with one of her neighbors to get chickens in the nice weather, returning them for the winter. She has the pleasure of chickens and eggs without the misery of over-wintering them. What a great neighbor!

That is a great neighbour. But I’ll bet your Aunt Betty does them a favour or two in return. I love how a community runs on this sorts of kind gestures.

I’ve had one horrible dog for thirteen years. Living with her was character building.

They must have smart chickens in Kansas. Our Illinois chickens were dumb as rocks–never visited the library, even once. 🙂

Maybe you just run with low class chickens.
