My dad said the chickens will wander back to their coop at night so that they can roost and sleep. Hopefully they won't wander into our neighbors yards! I think we are going to let them out soon. The weather has been so nice! It is wonderful!

YES!!! Thanks so much Rachell! That makes me feel a ton better! The chickens are going to be let out today. Not just out of the coop but out of there little enclosure. They are going to be free range!

Hey all! The chickens are doing great! They have all started to roost and are getting big. I hope the first egg will be here soon. Oh... just a quick thought, does anyone actually read my blog? I mean it can get depressing when you go on and it looks as it no one has even read my blog for the past couple months except for some totally random person. If you read this in the next day you should comment and if you do read it often say aye! If not, don't say anything.

Well its a new month! The grass and the chicks are growing. They have gotten so inquisitive and curious! They like to investigate and see whatever is edible in their run! They have started to roost. We should be getting eggs in about a month. It is cold and rainy over here! BRRRR!!!! I will post more on another day.

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.
