Millie and Lottie were on their best behavior and Millie graciously posed for pictures with most of the students who wanted to either pet or hold her. She was a good sport and helped allay the fears of more than one student.
Kids at this age (grades 1-3) are so interested in their world and the magic of new life that I felt privileged to be part of their learning experience raising chicks. And I couldn't be happier having 5 two week old chicks as overnight guests before they move to my daughter's in Middleton. Ah, what I wouldn't give to be adding a few to my flock!
When I brought back the chicken (well, really a rabbit) cage and left it out in the backyard it became an instant attraction and I sensed that other hens would be interested in showing off if the opportunity should arise.
Thanks again, Harborlight-Stoneridge Montessori for inviting me and the girls!

Hi! I've been reading through your posts and archives, as my family and I just moved to the Beverly area from Pittsburgh. We just bought a house and will be staying in the area - and we want to and plan on having 4-6 chickens!
I'd love to connect with you and learn from you,
If I could? I'm struggling to find exactly what the chicken ordinance is here in Beverly! Thanks!! (Coconutrobot.com :) )
Hi Sue,
Thank you for this lovely and informative blog! Do you still live in Beverly with chickens?
Please let me know if you'd be open to meeting to share some of the knowledge you've acquired. I am looking to move to Beverly and having chickens there would just be excellent. I'd like to learn from your experience.
Thanks! Lilli
