    chickens in the house!!

    After FIVE years of asking, my son and daughter finally got their wish: Chickens! All smiles here, five chicks in my dining room, and now we're really on the clock! (no coop yet!) DS wants to help Mom build the coop FROM SCRATCH (eek!) OK... I'm no neophyte when it comes to power tools, but...
