 Chickens aren't the only ones who like cantaloupe.

4th of July

 Justin's fireworks...he has them all wired together so he just lights one fuse and then this thing blows up for 20+ minutes.  It's quite the show.

 Pinterest project from last year.

The Silkies

On June 8 (soon after the death of our only silkie), Justin & I went to Lawrence to retrieve 4 silkie chicks I had found on Craigslist.  They were assorted ages ranging from 1-4 weeks old.  We named them Kiwi #2, Peaches, Blueberry & Blackberry.  Blackberry died the very next day, I'm guessing due to Cocci.

 Kiwi

  Peaches

I wanted the silkies to be very human friendly so I started getting them out during the day and let them hang out on the couch with me.

The LOVE peaches & cantaloupe.

 

 Just recently they have started outdoor field trips.

 how cute are these fuzzy butts?
