Tweeting Pick-Me-Ups

Spring 2016

Peep

As winter leaves and spring enters Maine, my leg is still busted. It’s not an easy fix. And the longevity of the healing time has made it hard to ward off depression—that is until a little pick-me-up entered my kitchen. Make that ten tweeting little pick-me-ups.

Chicken spy cam

Six isa red pullets (the egg laying chickens) and four Cornish rocks (our feeders) are growing up in my kitchen. I have a mission again—besides holding the couch down.

Our brood

Their chirps and shenanigans (you’ll see them on the spy cam) are filling our house and keeping me distracted. We have big missions for these tiny creatures. They’ll fill our bellies, provide us eggs, eat the ticks and spread the manure in the pasture. And keep me glued to the brood from the overwhelming cuteness.

Enjoy the cuteness.

Emma isn’t so sure about chickens.
