Thanks! The whole chicken idea was my father-in-law's. He used to have chickens and when we moved into the country, he thought we should too. Those chickens have made me feel like a little kid more than once. I remember when they first started laying, I'd check the nest about once an hour to see if they laid another?
I felt that same youthful excitement when I saw the young'un had hatched. At this stage in my life, not much does that anymore. lol
