Foghorn and his Ladies

And, last but not least, is an introduction to our chickens. The rooster is Foghorn Leghorn and the hens are Miss Prissy, Princess Leia, Leila and one other name that sounds like "lay"......'cuz they lay eggs, right? Drew thinks this is HILARIOUS! I'll see if it sticks. They're young yet, so won't start laying until September, so I figure we have until then to decide on names.

I don't have any pictures yet because the camera is broken, but as soon as I do, I'll put them up. Miss Prissy and Leia are black with white specks. Leila and the other one are brown. Foghorn is white. Apparently, according to Drew, they're the stupidest animals we have yet. They go to sleep every night in the outdoor part of their coop, COMPLETELY exposed to predators. Drew has to shoo them inside every night when he goes out to close the door to the outdoor part of the coop. Apparently Foghorn isn't doing his job. We'll have to see if he matures into it.
