Egg shaped eggs |
While I haven't written about the chicks, they are doing really well. They consistently give us 2 eggs a day which is about perfect for our family. When we get eggs out of the nest box, Lucy says "Thank you for the eggs chicks!" By Sunday, our egg basket in the kitchen is empty and we start another week collecting eggs. The other day I surprisingly found 3 eggs which will be great when my little boy starts eating real food.
When I get home from work each day, I let em run about the yard until dark. By then, they have returned back in the coop and nested for the night. One day, I came out back like normal after school to run the sprinklers, and I freaked out as I saw the chickens door was wide open! Someone forgot to close the evening before. The chickens had put them selves to bed, woke up and spent the day in the yard all on their own! Thank goodness there were no animals to grab the chickens.
The girls carefully check out the lettuce tetherball before demolishing it! |
I like how they are each in their own corner, ready to pounce.
