Chickens

Orcxance bought some chickens for us. I am very happy about this! We can’t manage goats here in town, otherwise he probably would have gotten me goats too. But our little yard is just right for a few chickens, and now we will have eggs!

The hen laid one the very first day. I was impressed seeing has her feet had been tied together, it had been a stressful day for her, and there was a very hard rain. The chickens are tough just like the people.

The chickens have made up for my great animal loss when I left Impfondo. I had asked my neighbor to please give my chickens to Orcxance so he could leave them with my sister-in-law along with our goats, but she refused and instead sold every last one of them. She got a good price for them too, I might add.

I had about 10 chickens, 4 ducks, 2 guinea fowl and 3 goats. We only managed to save the goats and the guinea fowl.

But now we have chickens again. They haven’t been stolen or eaten by dogs yet. So far so good.
