Hiya guys! Sorry I haven't been on in a while! I have just been being lazy... :) The chickens are REALLY REALLY REALLY big! They have started to roost where their supposed to. Finally. WE are expecting eggs in about a month. I takes them a while to start laying. The Buff Orpingtons are so friendly! They usually are the first to come up to you! It is really gray and rainy over here. It is kind of depressing. But I like to read on a day like this so I'm all set! I will post more on another day!

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't written anything for awhile! I got sick, then the weather turned really nice and I have been busy with school. Yeah, I know, that's a pretty lame excuse! :) The chicks are doing well. I think I should probably start calling them chickens cause they are no longer chicks. They are getting REALLY big and are starting to warm up to us. We have been feeding them table scraps and they seem to LOVE corn. They don't like lettuce though. And seeing as I don't like it either - I can't blame them!

Hi all! The chicken coop is finished!! Finally! The chicks have been outside numerous times and are really enjoying it! It is sunny today so the chicks will go out. They are getting quite big and have most of their adult feathers. They have gotten very used to us and don't seem to mind very much when we pick them up. To all the people who are considering getting chickens I would encourage you to go for it. They are a ton of fun and they are really neat to have around.

Well the goslings hatched! They are super cute! The chicks have been out side again. They really like it. I believe that they are getting more used to us. Did you know that they absolutely LOVE worms? They will chase each other around and try and steal the worm. It is so funny and cute! It is a little bit cloud here. I hope it warms up soon! Well I just thought I would give you a little up date!

Hi there! Yesterday we put the chicks outside!! They LOVED it. They were all running around pecking at anything they saw. My dad found a worm and gave it to the chicks. They were all running around trying to get the worm. It was hilarious! The goose is still laying on her eggs and it is another glorious day in Moscow ID.

Hi Everyone! Right now we are just waiting for the chicks to get big enough to start laying eggs. They have gotten used to us and they are not as scared as they used to be. I think this weekend my Dad will be building the run for the chicks so that they can run around outside. Yesterday my sister Molly and I tried out for the play "A Mid Summer Nights Dream" I hope I get in! If I do get in I hope I can get the part of Puck the mischievous fairy. We (my sister and I) have a dance recital coming up on May 1st!!! I am so excited! It is going to be the best recital ever! We just had some friends visit from Bonners Fairy. They came up to watch the play "You Can't Take it With You." Both of my brothers were in it and they both did a fabulous job. The play was a huge hit. I think everybody loved it! It is a GORGEOUS day out side. It is sunny and nice! Ah... I love it! The goose is still in the box sitting on her eggs. I can't wait until they hatch!!! There have been some really cute rabbits running around our yard. I think they are enjoying the nice weather as much as we are! Well I hope you all have a wonderful week!

The chicks are doing well. I think they have adjuster to their new home. I went out today and sat with them for a little while. Molly (my sister) and I like to stick a bit of food on our shoes so that the chicks will peck at it. It is so much fun to watch them getting bigger. I am really happy that we decided to get chicks. They haven't started to lay eggs yet and I don't think they will for a while. Once we get their run done it will be fun to see them running around in it. There are some chicks that we own that Molly and I find simply ADORABLE! They are black and white and they have big feathers covering their feet. Molly and I call them the fluffy feet chicks. :)
