Chickens on the horizon.

Of course, as I typed that, I just remembered that a friend on Facebook reported they just saw the HBO dramatization of "Grey Gardens" (which I loved), and is calling everybody "chicken" like Big Edie Beale. I need to watch this again ASAP, followed by the original documentary and then "The Beales of Grey Gardens", both of which I currently have on

I have had potatoes growing in my compost pile for several years now. I harvest the ones that get big enough. I used to have pumpkins growing in the compost pile every year, but haven't had any decent sized ones for 4 years.

My friend John, (jarlsberg71) also started raising chickens this year. Are you doing it for the eggs? ...or for meat? ...or both?

[brianrdu]

OMG *not* for the meat. These bird will have names!

[brianrdu]

Birds, that is. I'm thinking three of them will have names like Polly, Dolly, and Molly. Not sure about the other two, as a Mexican friend of mine is naming them. The only thing I said about that is that I have to be able to pronounce them.

I am relieved to hear that you are naming them. I couldn't picture you slaughtering chickens in the back yard!

I was going to ask that, too.

I had this vision of you dispatching them, and I was thinking, 'wow - he's so macho!'
