Chicken...
Well I think it is obvious, I've totally missed it.
Over the past 9-10 months we've been through some small changes, we are still a "green" family. We still have two kids, a big dog, however our yard has finally become grass instead of just mud. We've also adopted into our family 15 new friends.
We now have a small chicken farm. And when I say chicken farm, I mean adorable 2 day old Plymouth Barred Rock chicks living in a box in our garage.
They came in the mail yesterday from Mt Healthy Hatchery. (My husband gets a kick out of saying we got them from the mail. He is used to going to the farm store and getting a straight run of whatever they had.) I knew I wanted to raise laying hens, something somewhat docile and curious, and most importantly, I wanted brown eggs. When I spotted the plymouth barred rocks I fell in love. See adorable...
The kids love watching the chicks. I pretty sure Cade is going to be able to tell the apart as he loves watching their personalities. We have two chicks we are currently nursing. They both have broken legs. One, kind of bad, one really bad. They are in separate boxes and I am hoping they are able to heal. So for now, we feed them, water them, and change their bedding, and spend hours in the garage just watching them.
Yea! You're back!!
