Many of you probably know that we've taken to living off our land this past year or two. Created a nice garden perfect for our family of 5. And to further our ventures in City Farmin', we built a cute chicken coop and purchased 4 baby chickens. They, of course, are not babies now. Practically full grown and clucking ever so quietly in our backyard. They haven't yet produced eggs, although we anticipate that they will within the next few months, and soon we will be stocking our refridgerator with fresh organic home-grown eggs. How nice! So today, as we do at least once or twice a week, we opened the doors to their coop, and slowly but surely, out waddles Petals, Daisy, Lily, and Tulip. They love picking the honeysuckle off our back fence as well as picking on our minpinchuahua. :) But it also gives them some free-range time to pick at fresh grass clippings and random bugs. They love it. The best part is a simple "Here Chick-chick-chicks" and a tap of their feed bucket has them running for their coop and hopping inside without any issues. Took a little learning on their parts in the beginning, but not much. Easier than dogs! Anyway, today, the girls got involved. They are so good with the chickens. Not afraid of them at all. Well, with the exception of their pecking when they are trying to feed them by hand... kinda hurts when they pinch a finger instead of the food. :) I snatched my camera up and snapped a few pics of the girls doing their thing... playing with their chickens. Btw: Petals is Asilyn's favorite. I love City Farmin'. And notice the coop my husband and I made with complete guestimation and simple photo observation. We're a good team! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Look for a post soon all about Asilyn's first day of Pre-K and more than likely pics of her first day as well!
Until another moment,
