Summertime, and the living is easy...

Here are the "Little Girls" preparing for a mid-day nap under the rhodie. They are quickly gaining in size, and their cute "peep-peep" is turning into a very sqweaky pre-cluck--imagine a cross between Lauren Bacall imitating a hen clucking and a rusty wagon wheel and you'll have an idea of what they sound like.

Maryann, the New Hampshire in the front (quite frankly we can't tell the difference between the New Hampshire and the Rhode Island Red!) has a very distinct honk that she makes--I don't know if it will last, but the chicken sounds like a goose!
