First thing in the morning we'll get started. It's forecast to be 35ºF and raining. Ugh.

Tomorrow
We'll be doing another chicken butcher day tomorrow, but this one is a little more poignant. We'll be butchering the old flock, the chickens who have been with us for over two years.
My daughters are especially sad about Bennie, the rooster, going behind the barn. They were so afraid of him, but they've made friends and spent today giving him hugs. At dinner, one of them said, "thank you God that we could give the chickens a good life."
After he was released from the hugs, Bennie spent the rest of the day strutting among his hens.
First thing in the morning we'll get started. It's forecast to be 35ºF and raining. Ugh.
