After we did our new morning chores Constantine and I decided to take his Chicken " Spot" for a Walk in the Grass. Let's just say Spot was like a dog with a bone .. he had a good time pecking around . <br />
<br />
They had a good time playing with toys , follow the leader and even a funny game of hide and go seek . I think atleast 4 of our birds are ready to go outside atleast on warm days . Spot didn't seem to happy to go back to the box...an escape attempt came a few min later .<br />

Any they will also let us bring eggs when we like and they will incubate and hatch them for us (keeping 20% of the chicks to recover electricity& food ) since we don't want roosters <br />

</div><div align="center">We're a pretty "normal"* Family of 5 . After much thought we've decided to give up the life of fast food convenience and complaining about high food costs as well as dangerous foods and take control over what goes into our bellies . </div><div align="center">We have done veggie gardens off and on since 07 mostly for summer salads and fresh herbs . This year we have set the lofty goal of being 99% self sufficient by 2012 or sooner with a 50% raw diet .</div><div align="center">for the last 2 weeks The hubz and I have worked on excavating a terrace garden and clearing the space for a 10-15 chicken hen house , a tilapia pond , a micro green house for back Deck wheatgrass and possibly a rabbit hutch .</div><div align="center">Don't get me wrong, We are not pit-hair braiding hippies or anything but with the way the world is going , this is the only smart option we can think of to always be prepared.</div><div align="center"><br />
