Newest Members of Our Family

Well, we finally talked Jeremy into getting chickens. I've been wanting them for a long time, but he's been to busy to build a chicken coop. When we had a lesson at church on food storage/emergency preparedness, they talked about having a garden and raising chickens. It got him excited, so he embarked on a quest to make the perfect coop. Of course he went way overboard :) There is no way he would do anything the quick or easy way. I have not taken a picture of it yet, but I will. The chickens will be living in luxury!
The kids are having a blast with them. They are so cute! Right now they are still too small to keep outside. They have to stay inside with a heat lamp until their feathers grow in. I am SO ready to get them outside! Cute as they are, they are a mess! We are looking forward to getting eggs and having our own little "mini" farm. It's going to be an adventure!

You are such a fun mom. We have a few pet chickens and they are totally tame and snugly. It's also nice to have fresh eggs although they do poop a lot.

Your kids are all so big. Let's make a get together happen. Maybe we can make a weekend of it sometime. I can tell my kids would love it over there. (not to invite myself)
