Cunningham : I am loving the newsletter. Chickens are
amazing little critters. My first three Hewey, Louie and Dewey,
the three wise hens were such a delight. Sadly both Hewey and
Louie became very ill last November and had to be put down. Devastating
as they become fabulous pets who gave me delicious eggs and were
on great terms with my dogs. They kept the garden weed free, fertilized
all of my fruit trees and then there was the amazing eggs that
come from happy free-ranging chickens.

So
with only Dewey left, we knew that we needed to get her some company
and so four new babies arrived at our home. Hewey was allowed
to be by the nursery but not allowed to get too close at first.
She is now happily running around the garden with the new girls
who are three months old. All Rhode Island Reds. And all so beautiful
and not the least bit spoiled
Even Charlie cat loves his chickens.
