Chickens

Our High School Orchestra program held their annual Harvest Hoe Down fund raising event this past weekend. The orchestra students planned, and ran the whole event. They are good at coming up with activities that the other kids will enjoy. They had a two story cardboard maze, musical chairs, find the candy in the hay pile, pumpkin painting, donut on a string, tug of war, bobbing for apples, pumpkin toss and of course, music. We donated our left over pumpkins to the event and came home with a truck load of straw and a truck load of smashed pumpkins! Our chickens were very happy.We let them out in the yard to eat bugs and plants but in cooler weather they eat more feed from the store. We were glad to have fresh food for them.By keeping our own chickens we are provided with artistic inspiration, hours of amusement, and great fresh eggs.
