That's Annie and Nell snuggling up in the rocking chair. Annie has had her in bed too. I draw the line about chickens in bed. So far Annie has made several "Nell" movies with various characters as co-stars. I play a bit part in one of them. It's really me in the background trying to keep Jasper on a down stay. He's painfully jealous of the chickens and moans, yips and all out barks when Annie is playing with them.
Hi Forte, I'm not sure about why chickens lay or don't lay...We've has had chickens before and Annie was very hands-on with them and they laid. We've only had them a week today so I'm hoping they are just re-adjusting to a new home. Annie loves them just as pets, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed because I love getting eggs.
Yeah! That's what I mean. I suppose I should have been more specific and said "comfortable in their environment...", but thats what I meant by "relaxed"! I imagine they get used to the "hands-on" stuff with Annie, over time! In either case, it is a win though! It sounds like the eggs are the bonus in this situation! :D Forte (Jealous that you get fresh eggs, because I remember from my days in the midwest...)
I was born on April 1st in Berkeley, California. I'm enjoying a life full of satisfaction and challenge alongside my dear friend and partner, Bill, and our almost twelve year-old daughter, Annie. We have a great house and garden that we share with two dogs, nine canaries, and three fire bellied toads. We are choosing a path of living that holds everyone's needs as precious and equal. We're loving an unschooling approach to education for Annie and ourselves. We're trying to live a life with the least amount of negative impact to the enviornment. One way we're doing that is we're really trying to be mindful about what we buy, how we travel, and how we care for ourselves. I will post my ideas, challenges, and celebrations for doing so on this blog. I would love to hear any of yours too!

So cute! I think you are so lucky to have chickens.
LOL! Too funny...
Don't the chickens have to be "relaxed" to lay? I remember reading that somewhere... :)

This is just begging for an illustrated story to be written. And I think you would be the ideal person to do it!
