Clara's leap of faith

Raising chickens is sort of like raising kids.

You've got to let them stand on their own two feet...


Support them in their decisions...


Encourage them to do the right thing...


and believe in themselves.


But you can't be too nice...


...otherwise they'll walk all over you.

    For some reason, by the third picture, I knew to put my coffee cup down, and am I ever glad I did ... I was rolling on the floor laughing by the end of your post! Good way to start a Friday Carson ... thanks!

    Yep, that's right. They might crap all over while they are at.

    Your blog is always good for a smile at 5:30 in the morning.

    Could sure use some of those crystal blue skies here in Virginia. We get them but not near as often as the southwest does... just love 'em.

    The girls look so pretty in their matching dresses by the way... LOL
