Dave has since we've moved in the house wanted Chickens already... I was wanting to get a few other things done and than start some in the spring with little chicks {little chicks seem cute and would let me get use to the idea of chickens-- since I'm a little scardy cat of them :) }
But on saturday Dave called and said that his brother was willing to give us some chickens that were already almost old enough to be laying some eggs-- I gave in and Dave came home with these.
Some of them are really beautiful-- I wish I could have gotten some better pictures of them- maybe later-- and I also wish I could have been there as I've heard Payton was a hoot to watch as he was trying to catch some of the Chickens-- he finally caught the black one and was so very proud :)
Ellie liked looking at them- as long as brother was close by-- otherwise she wasn't too sure about these things
Dave in total brought home 4 chickens and a Rooster-- { I actually like rooster's crows and our house is well enough insulated and it far enough away that I don't hear it very much- only if I'm outside or close to the doors- but I do feel a little guilty about it with the neighbors :) }
The girls thought it a hoot watching Daddy get them out of the pen and them flapping like crazy-- Zeeta was also a little intrigued by these things-- she'll have to learn fast no touching!
Thankfully our Nephew was willing to let us use his coop for a little while--
Next Spring though I'm hoping we can build a cute one :) like this
Or one like this
Cuz isn't that half the fun of having chickens... having a cute coop :) ha ha at least to me it is..
{and as a side note I highly doubt Dave will let me get very extravagant in the design- I can already see him shaking his head looking at these ones :) }
If your like me and want to look at chicken coops this site has tons-- many a hours I have wasted here
Payton so far has been pretty darn responsible with "his chickens" as he likes to call them-- Every morning before school he's been making sure they have unfrozen water and food with no prompting from us-- It's been cute to watch him not only do his chores but enjoy them-- Life is Good.
