I don't know about Farmer Daddy, but we are hosting two nice hens in our yard for two weeks in their fancy a-frame chicken tractor. Casey the chicken guy told us not expect eggs, but we'll see how that goes. We also haven't named them yet. One is white and the other multi-colored. The multi-colored one is quite feisty and a bit dim.
As you can imagine, Roxanne and Stella are most excited about our house guests.
My mother's family is from Colchester, Connecticut, once a hotbed of Jewish chicken farming in America. So I guess I'm back to my roots, in a strange sort of way. Updates as events warrant here and on facebook.

I am trying to trace family of my father's uncle Samuel Jacob Levine (after whom I'm named), who had a farm in Colchester, CT. I know he was on the farm in 1914 and probably years before that and after. Do you know any of his descendants? Sy Colen
