our chicken (4 weeks old)

I know, you all have been dying to hear how our chickens are doing.

Okay, probably not, but I’m sharing about them today anyway. I am still quickly becoming a chicken lady. I’m constantly reading and learning all about chickens, gardening and the such. Amazon really likes me right now. I’m not sure how it happened, but I have 5 kids, one cat and 6 chickens. Life is good….and smelly…..and loud!

Red at 3 days old and 4 weeks old. I now understand what people meant by the ‘awkward teenage stage’ when referring to chicks growing.

The chickens have been getting lots of outside time. They always seem to stick close to my boy (iphone shots).

FireCracker loves holding the chickens. Her very favorite thing is to get them to flap their wings in her face. I don’t get it. She, however, thinks it is the funniest thing ever.

She also likes to trap the chickens in her lap and pretend they are her babies.

The coop is coming along. We got the stem wall dug and concrete was poured earlier this week. The frame will be going up soon!

We are still pretty crazy about our chickens. So far they have been very easy to take care of and require very little. All the kids are enjoying them, not to mention the adults. So far, so good…we are happy chicken owners.
