Ever since we returned from Asia, things have been going a mile a minute, at least for us. The Ladies' days still consist primarily of pecking around the ground, eating the scraps we deliver, and roosting for the night; they love figs and the peels from sweet potatoes and peaches. We've moved beyond the chick feed and are now serving the Ladies "Grower and Finisher" feed; we're going for the former rather than the latter. This will continue until they start producing eggs, at which point they will receive the "Layer" feed that has a higher calcium and protein content.
This picture is of a missionary we support. We've known Rachel since we were all undergraduates at Vanderbilt. She's been all over the world in the last few years but finally met John, the other human in the picture, and they are moving to Montana to engage in campus ministry. Rachel told us she grew up with chickens and has a healthy fear of them, particularly roosters. This was as close as she would get to the Ladies, even though we assured her they were all females, despite their names.
