Our first farm animals




Look how cute! This hen and chicks were a gift from our caretaker. She was accustomed to living in their house. It took us weeks to train her that she wasn't allowed in our house. Then it took a couple more weeks to get her settled on where to lay her eggs. We found out that Carlos used to let her lay her eggs on their bed! This is one spoiled hen!


Our first hen was given to us by the caretaker, Carlos.



She has six chicks.

Just a few days before this all the chicks fit inside her wings without seeing anything at all.
This was supposed to be our Thanksgiving dinner.

He was spared an extra month. There was no way we could pull off Thanksgiving dinner! We're all really learning to appreciate our food. He sacrificed for our Christmas dinner. This was a real free range turkey. This bird was very lean and very boney. It was enough for 5 people for one meal, no left overs.
