Precious kitty! All of my animals dwell out of doors, but soon a box of newly hatched chickens will be warming under a brood lamp in our cozy basement....literally under foot.
I picked up this charming birdcage at a local vintage and antique shop. I would love to purchase a little bird to go with it, but I don't think I will be able to for a few more years. For now, the cage hangs admiringly in my vintage kitchen.
We will be getting at least 6 new hens from Tractor Supply, a few Bourbon Red Turkey poults, and I am deciding on a few new bantam hen chicks. There are so many beautiful breeds to choose from. We will also hatch our own "mutts." Oh, and I need a khaki drake for my 3 khaki Campbell gabby girls.
Our Maine Coon kitty, Victoria, is so lovely that I find myself thanking God for kitties quite often. I should add that Maine Coons have a character flaw. They are quite aware of their beauty.
Buff Orpingtons! Anna, have you ever read "A City of Bells" by Elizabeth Goudge? That's where I first heard of Buff Orpingtons - couldn't understand at first what was being referred to.
Donaleen , rest easy, FW is still held in very high esteem over here. Kate, Daisy really wants ducks too! Lisa, I will look for that. If it has Buff Orpingtons, it must be good.
I know what you mean.
ReplyDeleteBTW, how's the big boy going Anna?

Rose, he's doing nicely!
ReplyDeleteKate, we are also looking forward to chick season. Daisy's planning a batch of Buff Orpingtons next month. What about you?

ReplyDeleteWhat about Fitzwilliam? Has he lost favor? I adore him even from here....

ReplyDeleteWell, actually - they are mentioned in it; it's not about chickens at all. But it's a wonderful story!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right!
ReplyDeleteWell, I have to say that out of your animals I think Frederick is my favorite.
