    My girls first time outside!

    I finally made a temporary enclosure with posts and chickenwire so my 5 5-week olds could get some fresh air ~ and they loved it!! They were so funny trying to figure out what to do with the long grass... I never thought chickens would bring so much joy into our lives. Love those lil stinkers

This morning my daughter and I visited a local salvage store (that benefits Easter Seals) to see what we could find - it was awesome! Found a 100 yr old farmhouse screen door for $15 - it even already has...

    Newbie with ?????'s

    I'm a very new chicken mama - just got our 5 chicks on Tues., and I've been planning the coop I'll be building.
