chicken shopping

since the kids were off with friends...lar and i decided to take a drive north to check out the coyote ridge ranch in search of chickens. some couples might go get a massage, or have a lovely wine lunch, but not us...we were super excited to see this place...who doesn't get excited about a chicken farm...
it was a beautiful drive, romantic right?
and when we arrived, we both wished we had the boys with us...it was great...
so many adorable farm friends...all the sweet little faces one could hope for, baby goats, puppies and just about any type of fowl you could imagine....there was an amazing variety of chickens, we had a tough time deciding...but after an hour we finally settled on 15...some of the exotics i really wanted were not available until spring...so we may be adding to our flock, but the 15 we took home are adorable

this is "chicken larry", he and his wife diane, who goes by the name "henny penny", own coyote ridge ranch, and boy are they knowledgeable. diane was busy getting her eggs ready for farmer's market...
just look at their beautiful, organic eggs!!!!!

back at our homestead....isabelle, our kitty, is welcoming her new fowl friends...she actually likes our Daisy, the "one and only" chicken that we have had. notice, the chickens came home to live in a dog run....poor chickens

however, do not worry, we are in the process of building a chicken resort....ya who!

this puffy girl can't wait
and silkie girl is just beside herself to have her own suite....

on another note...i am not only focusing on getting to know my new chicken friends, i am also getting ready for a boutique sale at the opening of "my cottage". steph, my good friend, who i do all jewelry stuff with, (except etsy, she is not into that or blogging), and i are preparing for our Christmas show. this will be the first in my newly remodeled cottage. we are hosting it on Dec. 11th & 12th, so if your in the area pop in....ends up being great girls time....
hope i didn't bore you with my chickens...and of course, if i didn't...you can see more about chicken larry and henny penny's coyote ridge ranch on their site...lots of info about chickens too...coyoteridge-pozo.com have a great day!!!!!!
