New Addition(s)

A few weeks ago, we did something a little crazy...well, crazy for us.

























That's right, we bought 4 baby chicks. Not one. Not two. Four. That's what makes us crazy. But, now that we've had them for a few weeks, it's really not bad at all. Chicks are pretty easy to take care of. You feed them. They sleep. You clean up poop. They poop more. Easy peasy.

There's no way of knowing for sure if you have female chicks or male chicks so we're hoping we scored 4 females. We aren't exactly looking to have a chicken farm or anything. If we end up with any roosters, we'll cross that bridge when we get there.....I make a yummy homemade chicken pie.

JUST KIDDING :)


Anyway....
Blackie, Lilly, White Wing, Ava

















Kris' girls named the chicks. The little black one is Blackie, naturally. One of the yellow ones is White Wing, since she has white wings, duh. The other yellow one is Lilly and the brown one is Ava.

They are about to outgrow the box Kris built for them so we'll have to fix our coop soon so they can have more room to sit, eat and sleep. Seriously, that's all they do.

So, there you have it. Our new additions to the family. I can't wait until they start laying eggs!
