Well, we did it. We bought chickens, or chicks, really. I didn't think we would. Heck, just a couple of years back we turned our coop into a storage space. Well, fast forward to May 1st, when it was snowing outside. Jeremy decided to take the kids for a little adventure and came home with eight babies.
Just a couple weeks before, my parents decided to do the same, but they bought fifty.

Soon, we'll get the coop back in order and set up a little area for them to run around that is protected from the dogs.
For anyone wanting to try, I'll keep you updated. For those who are seasoned chicken keepers, I need all your tips!
I'm really excited about this being a project for the kids. I hope they remain excited! Plus, I'm anxious for eggs at some point. However, I'll be the first to say, when we discover any roosters, I think we'll get rid of them and keep the hens...I'm not excited to crack an egg for breakfast only to find a chick inside. Yikes.

We've got a Fuzzy, MooMoo, Polly Jolly, and a Maud so far. We need four more names (no, we don't know which one is which). So...here's to new adventures!
