We're OPEN!

Well the Farm Stand is now stocked with Organic Pumpkins, Cantaloupe, Butternut Squash and Watermelon and the kids quickly made $20.00!  I will run to Colusa tomorrow and get them a big white board for writing down prices...they'd been writing them on the outside of the melons!

Tried like crazy to get a good picture of the *man* chicken/rooster...but he's still a bit cagey...and he's NOT a meat bird...he really looks like a *fighting* cock: YEEKS!  He doesn't have those huge ugly leg claws, I think they've been cut off.  He's still young so I'll have to keep an eye on him.  He knows where the food's coming from and he knows I'm in charge...he stands back when all the hens come running to visit with me on the deck or out in the garden.  I think he's pretty...hope I can get a good picture in the next day or so.

The Man Chicken is hiding behind the tree...camera shy

I've been bringing a bag of popcorn old maids from the Market every Monday as a treat for the chickens.  They all love the unpopped kernels but don't like the popped stuff...funny to watch them scratch around:  "Dinner and a Movie", anyone?
