A wonderful surprise!

By

A couple of our girls was making this sound today.


It made me go check to see if there was an egg. There was two! :) I was pretty egg-cited! lol. I felt like I found a treasure. They are 19 weeks old. They are growing up. *tear* lol We will have all brown eggs. Which I like just fine. :)


Here they are playing in the yard and enjoying some watermelon. So fun.

    Your chickens are so pretty! We have over 100 Isa Browns, and I tire of the same old color;)
    I can't tell if our pullets are laying yet because we put them in with the older birds, but they should be soon!! ...isn't that cackle exciting?!

    Blessings,

    It is exciting! I like the variety of color we have. We should have had more buffs, but "Nutmeg" was our only pullet. All the other buff turned out to be Roos. We butchered 2 and gave 1 away. We really like our Barred Rock roo. They are all so tame because we handled them right away. Hunter carries a couple around and pets them still. They are getting a little big for that almost. lol

    Brown eggs are my favorite! I know people say there isn't a difference, but I think they taste richer....more 'warm'.

    I made some scrambled eggs yesterday from 4 small eggs we collected and WOW! I never liked store bought eggs just to eat. I always just baked with them. These were wonderful! No "eggy" taste and they were rich and delicious. I LIKE to eat eggs now! lol

Do you make agreements with satan?

Many of us make agreements with satan and we don't even realize it. It may start out small like a small thought popping in your head. Satan fuels that thought with mores lies until you have made up your mind that you agree with satan. For example...I can't watch Dancing With the Stars...it is too much of a stumbling block for me. Why? Well, just look at them. They have beautiful bodies that seem to move effortlessly. I made an agreement with satan that my body is just not up to par. It's just not good enough. I went from a small thought of "wow, they are beautiful" to "I'm not that beautiful...I don't have those nice curves... I could never be graceful like that" Those are all satan's lies and I AGREED with them. Sure, I don't look like that, but I don't have to fall for the lie that my body and grace are any less good. But, to keep those thoughts at bay...I just don't watch it. Another example would be realizing your
