Why Garden?

I chose to name this SherriLee's Garden not only because I love to garden, but I hope to keep growing and changing as a person. I want to learn new things, go new places and always make myself a better person. I also want to someday have a place where I can grow as many things as my heart desires.

Holy Cow..erm...Chicken?

I found this giant egg last week....

And this baby one a few days later.  Thing is, I think they are from the same chicken.  One girl has been laying since last spring.  Only 1 new hen started laying this year, so I'm guessing all the odd sizes are from her.  The little egg is smaller than a ping pong ball!

Daisy, the bloodhound hood ornament. 

Life is never boring at my house!

This past weekend we did expand the kennel for the chickens.  Before they just had a dog kennel, and this weekend we combined the one they had with a free one we picked up last fall.  I can't let them free range because our dogs think they are toys...plus I'm pretty sure the goldendoodle would try to 'hunt' them since she's technically a 'bird dog.'  The chickens seem to be enjoying their expanded space, and it will be put to good use this summer, since I have a dozen chicks on order to pick up in March!  All pullets this time though, since I have 3 roosters I have to decide what to do with soon!
