Flocked


Ah, life on the farm... I am happy to report that the baby chicks are doing just fine. They have already grown some, they are curious, and still cute as can be.


We started building the coop on  Saturday using mostly reclaimed wood that was stored under the house. It's not fancy, but it's sturdy, and I think the chicks will be happy there. I tell you, if there's an earthquake, that's where you'll find me. It's solid.


Using power tools made this project a lot more fun for the boys.





The coop is nearly done, but we still need to add roofing, a window and the run. They won't move into their new house for a few more weeks at least.






Ok, I'll try not to bore you with too many chick pics, but no promises. Talk about a mother hen! But hey, aren't they the cutest?

Cute alert!

I am seriously bursting at the seams. I have been dreaming about this day for so long now, I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am. This obsession has been literally going on for years. So, what's all the fuss about?


Did you guess? It's chickens!

Oh, those cute, little, baby chicks.


Those, sweet, adorable, fluffy, future egg-laying baby chicks!
Here they are figuring out where the food is...





Here they are being oh, so adorable...


After such a big day, the sleepy chicks are ready for nap-time.


Good-night chicks!

Mr. R and the boys are building a coop tomorrow.
