Chickens

Does this make us farmers? Shane has always wanted to raise chickens. To have eggs come from our own backyard. I finally gave in. They were too cute to say no.

This was one of the chickens they had outside the country store. They didn't have her in stock, so I'm waiting. I love her "boots"!

Shane just getting an idea of how he's going to build a coop for our new chicks.

I love the barn look of this coop.

Meet the newest members of our family:
Shannon (Shane's- you say it with an Irish accent)
Bridget (Lex's)
And, the white one is Chloe (Isabel's- Shane told her no at first because it's "ugly" but Isabel cried and so she got it. Really, if he tells her to pick one, he can't tell her no. Silly dad.)

How can I tell him no? Just look at that happy face!

He says one day we will have to eat the chickens after they stop laying eggs. I think there's a rule that says if you name your chickens, they are technically pets and you can't eat your pets. We shall have to wait and see.
