chicken love

This spring brought five new additions to our home.  We love them very much.  I hadn't always been so fond of flapping wings, but these ladies have grown on me.  They still are not named, merely whitie, brownie, and spotted ones.  They have their own distinguishing marks.  Every Morning I let them out, they run fast as they can from the enclosure flapping thier wings. Honestly I use to run from them. I'd try to be faster so they wouldn't flap near me.  Now, if I just stand there they run past. Much better!

When they were babies, just too cute.


So far they spend their day free range.  They're so fun running around to all of their favorite spots making their rounds, visiting us and Pooping on the porch (BIG problem and not to mention embarrassing).

Our 1st egg!


We have been checking their laying boxes daily... and yesterday our first laying hens egg.  This is really exiting!  One thing that makes me happy.
