They're getting so big!




They are so big already! They are all doing well still and we are hoping to move them to the coop this weekend. We tried to do it today but the wind was so cold we decided to wait a few more days.




We made this coop from scrap wood we both had lying around. We only spent about $11 on the whole thing. We didn't have much of a plan when we started, but I think it turned out pretty nice. We nail gunned some nails into a 2x4 and buried it in the ground so if any predators try to dig, they will get poked with 3 in. nails. The chickens have their own door to come in and out of each day so they stay safe inside the coop. So far, so good. I'll let you know when they start laying eggs!! Can't wait!

We're so excited to hear about your newest additions to the family. How nice to have fresh eggs.

It looks like a fun adventure! Can we come see the chicks sometime? Who knows maybe we'll want to get some too. :)
