Well they are cute little chicks now but they will soon be not so cute chickens. We got chickens today. For quite some time Darryl ha
s wanted to build a hen house and raise chickens. Well today we bit the bullet and we're committed to try at least with these six. Darryl says he has 8 weeks now to get the hen house built before they will need to move in. Until then we're having fun watching them in the box. They are so funny to watch. If one is asleep the others just walk over it to get to where they want to go. There is one that keeps pecking at the drop of water that fell on the box-- you'd think it would just be easier to go and get the water out of the feeder. Hopefully we'll get lots of eggs this year.EXTENSION:
The next day Darryl and the boys went to the store to get more saw dust and walked out with another chick. It is a black variety and very pretty.

i took Kendal to the feed store yesterday to see the chicks. I thought about buying a few, but decided against it. I will have to come and see your hen house when it is finished. Kelsey would LOVE to have chickens!
Can he build me one too! Or invite me over and I will build one at the same time. I really really want chickens!
James was watching the chickens that they had at the hardware store last night. They were totally cute. We would love to have chickens sometime too, but i'm a little worried about all the kids that are always outside our house. You'll have to let us know how it goes!
What a fun idea. Bob was thinking of getting the girls bunnies for Easter. He wanted to get a male and female for pets and then raise some for meat (yucky I say but he claims it's good). I'm still not convinced. Susan had a bunny when she was five and it was such a mess that I'm not sure I want to "enjoy" that adventure quite yet. We'll see if we end up getting them--until then there's always stuffed rabbit animals--lol :)
