Although lunch at Jane's and helping her set up her blog were touted as the reasons to get together; I was also looking forward to seeing the 2 newest members of the family. I have absolutely NO chicken experience, but Jane's two girls eventually warmed up to me and didn't scurry off as soon as I came over.
I've had many memorable experiences with the Jolly Menagerie throughout the years of our friendship. My darling Quebec (who has since passed on) used to push the door open to my room and get in the bed with me when I'd spend the night. Having a huge black Labrador in a twin bed didn't leave much room for me, but when the cockerel crowed at 4am directly under the floor where I was sleeping-I was glad he was there for me to grab on to in my shock. I actually got out of bed to make sure that the cockerel wasn't also in the room with us!
Before the girls arrived, Jane had been giving me regular reports on the construction of her chicken coop. I was impressed with the final results, but hey...I'm not the one who has to be happy. I'd say Jane's girls are in Chicken Coop heaven!
