Cock-a-doodle-doo

So its official, we will be adding a few new members to our family in just a few short months. Yes you heard me; the Duffy’s are finally getting chickens! We could not be any more excited if we tried. It has been a major goal in our family’s farming experience. Back when we lived on the homestead with our espoused family- the Sullivan’s- we had many chickens, each with a name and their own unique personality. They were far more than just pets or animals; they were members of our family, beaming joys. We provided for them so they provided for us. What an amazing feeling it was to be woke by the subtle clucks of our dear friends, slowly pulling ourselves out of bed, rustling around clumsily to locate our shoes to head outside to start the day- First stop; feed the chickens. We had to leave our feathered friends behind when we left the homestead. But now it is our turn to start our own chicken clan.  We cannot wait to teach our boy about them, what they can do for us and our family and what great joy they can bring.
