iv’e read that home raised chickens are quite popular in california now. we actually have a neighbor, rosemary, a couple of doors down, that raises chickens. she’s brought us their beautiful, delicious pastel colored eggs before.
this time we joyfully gathered our own eggs. she would be gone a few days, so jerry got to take care of her chickens. she has provided a very nice home for them. they are happy and safe. they have a coop where they sleep and lay eggs.
they have room to run around in a pen and then can be let out to roam the yard. of course jerry did not let them out.
she has made it very easy to get to the fresh laid eggs. we used to hear one of her more vocal hens cackle as she would lay an egg. it was always a fun sound to hear. we’d say she’s laid another egg. i’ve forgotten her name now.
let’s see what’s in here.
our bounty for a few days of caring for her chickens. thanks rosemary, we’ll watch your chickens anytime. and thank you again for yet another fun filled holiday dinner. i forgot my camera so i have no pictures. thanks for the long island iced tea dick. did you know the acronym for that is LIIT. get it? haha.
jerry is dr. doolittle of the neighborhood. he makes friends with every dog that walks by. they all know him and stop to look and see if he’s on the porch. they love it when he is in the yard. he has a lot of fun with it. he’s taken care of several dogs and cats for years. another dog has been added to his dog sitting duties. our neighbor, elisabeth, adopted a dog recently. he was a little unruly at first but she has trained him so well he’s just a big ol’ couch potato now. he likes jerry to stay and keep him company when he feeds him.
this is elisabeth with ooffa, a breed of mastif.
and of course he’s been taking good care of midas for 11 years now.
that’s all for now. stay tuned for ????????
love, jilly
p.s.–we spent some time with martha yesterday and she’s doing much better.
Once in awhile-now and again-this is us 
You are the queen of bloggers. I knew you took care of animals for neighbors but the scope is a knee slapper. I adore you guys.
martha’s back everybody. i’ve missed you.
I’m so glad Marty is doing better too. What a wonderful neighborhood you live in – I know you contribute to that immensely.
When you wrote “chicken coop” I thought of the converted chicken coop that we spent our summers at when we were young! Not near as neat and organized – and probably no mice. LOL
Hilly, I love your blogs! You and Jerry are the glue that keeps our neighborhood together ❤️👍❤️
thanks paula, but i think we are just one of the many sticky notes attached to all the others here.
how did all of fit in there sharon. i guess that chicken coop at grandmas held a lot more chickens at one time.
that first image looks like Jerry is taking a little whizz. but i know he would never do that in some ones chicken coop.
Omg! I love the chickens! Nice eggs! Miss you! 💟
