I've flipped my lid

We've talked about getting chickens for years and never followed through. When we were in Australia the eggs were so much better than the eggs here that we decided to actually make the chicken leap. We got six baby chicks from the tractor store. They say they are all hens. We will see. The coop we wanted was out of stock so they gave us a rain check. The chicks can't go in a coop for six weeks anyway. Everyone has great fun playing with the chickens. Khloe who is scared of so many things loves them. She picks them up and carries them around. She was yelling about a dead lady bug in the window seal but chickens are an entirely different basket of eggs.

Sean keeps saying "I can't believe we got chickens." I hope it makes up for not getting him a lamb. I don't think residential Centerville is zoned for sheep. We got a "chicken permit" which allows us to keep 10 chickens but no roosters. We don't want roosters because they are noisy and don't lay eggs. Once we get the coop we are going to buy a couple adult hens so we don't have to wait a year for eggs.

Steph loves the chickens too. She had a pet chicken when she was little.
