Yahoo Groups

I became a huge fan of Yahoo Groups through the home school community. It's an amazing way to get information out, respond to it, etc. etc. I've joined some non-home school type groups and for the most part they have served as more entertainment than function. But sometimes, I get some really great info or insights from them.

So when I stumbled upon the chickenchatcoop, for urban and sub-urban chicken keepers, I couldn't resist. I have most of the groups set for a daily digest, that groups all the post together for one daily update. But I figured there wouldn't be too much chatter on backyard chickens.

Clucking like a bunch of hens....I couldn't believe how much these folks chatted.

So I'm telling Skye about this and an e-mail comes in from a friend, with the subject line "because it's funny and you have chickens and then this link; http://littlehenrescue.co.uk/jumpers.aspx

I open it to the Little Hen Rescue site; subject of the day NEW DESIGNER FLEECE JACKETS FOR OUR GIRLS with pictures like




Really.....

With patterns and everything.

So that was a strange coincidence, made slightly less strange when taken along side the relative strangeness of the whole matter to begin with.

Anyhow, I'm afraid the chicken chatters will be downgraded to daily cluck digest status.

As for our chickens, they are faring well. The coup and roost are coming along, interrupted by more pressing rabbit housing and garden irrigation issues.

Just another amusing day at the Milagro Vertical Farm with Farmer Jon.
