Chicks, Chicks, and more Chicks!

We decided that it would be a fun and educational experience for our family if we added chickens to our pet list.  We have friends that have had chickens for at least a year and they have enjoyed the egg that the get from the chickens.  As many of you know that I love animals and always enjoy an opportunity to welcome more into our home.  We got 7 chicks, they are so cute, fun, and the  kids and even my dogs are constantly checking on them.  For now they are in the garage but I know that they are going to grow fast and will move to a dog kennel outside that we already have set up for them.


The kids have named them Cupcake, Dora (obviously Madelyn's chicken), Spike, Cheetah (obviously Mason's chickens), and KFC (obviously Monroe's Chicken.  Other than than the other 3 remain nameless, I am sure more names will surface as time goes on and we learn more about our chickens.  For now they are lost of fun and are eating lots and lots of feed.  Maybe they will lay eggs faster!
