What's in the box?

This box arrived at the post office this morning. What do think it is?



You can find out the answer in this lopsided video. Yes, I thought I was improving the view by turning the camera vertically.



Here they are in their new home. They are Barred Plymouth Rock hens (hopefully hens!) 25 of them! We are trying the poultry experiement once again. But, this time we are older and wiser. We plan on selling most of them and keeping just a few for eggs. I think chickens will be a lot less messy than ducks.




Before we left them to go to storytime at the library I put the cover back on. It was a good thing too, because when I came back to check on them a big black hawk flew out of the stall. He must have heard them. He was just sitting there staring at them, to him they were tasty little chicky nuggets!

Meela,

How are you chickens doing? Do you have any roosters?

I can't find your email.

Thanks,
