tHe aDDitioN oF a NeW chiCKen

Life has been quite crazy for these Bennett's these last few months, as I am sure you can see from the lack of posts, well that or life is dull, I think I will go with the latter. I thought I would bring all my adoring fans up to speed via blog post, since it is so personal you know. Well here is goes...

The last few months have been filled with Chickens learning how to swim, feeding sick little chickens chicken soup (a little morbid I must admit), Trips to see about getting the eldest chicken some help with her teeth (does anyone know a good chicken-provider?), but alas the biggest news is the addition of a BRAND NEW chicken. Yes you read that right. As I stated in my MUCH earlier post: mommy block, I might need to add a new chicken to the coop, well we have done just that and let me tell you I am just oozing with blog-worthy-stories. So here we go...Let the blogging begin!!

The newest chicken hereafter to be reffed to as chicken number 5 or CN5, is an almost 10 month old male chicken. He is so much fun and has brought all of our little chickens personalities out in a matter of minutes from his arrival in this little coop.
Chicken number 1's motherly instinct kicked into high gear and she promptly started to guide him around under her, um, little wing.
Chicken number 2 promptly pointed out that the male chickens now out number the female chickens. I promptly thanked him for pointing out that our egg production would also go down because of this little fact that he was so proud of.
Chicken number 3 is just pleased as punch that he is no longer the newest chicken and that he has a new position of the dreaded middle child, a spot he seems to fit into nicely.
Chicken number 4 has all the answers to all of chicken number 5's problems and has no problem telling me when I am doing something wrong..."Mommy, you need to give him smaller bites." "Mommy, he does not like you to do that." "Mommy, do you need me to show you how he likes it?"

Ah yes, the introduction of a new little chicken seems to be just what this little coop needed. :)
