I suppose I'm allowed to tell y'all now...

The Chicken Lady and her DH bought a house in the country!

We close on it this afternoon.

I didn't want to say anything about it on BYC until I knew for sure that it would be "official."

Here is a pic of our first home:

No more renting!!

Oh, absolutely gorgeous. I'm happy for you and your family. Congrats. It is a great day indeed!!!!

PS Where is the chicken coop going to be?

 

[farrier!]

Good job!

 

[Chicks_N_Horses]

Wow, I really like that. It certainly has that ol time farm house look, to me. I bet you guys are going to LOVE it! Congrats!

Congrats on the new house. Will you be able to have chickens?

Thanks!

The coop will be somewhere in the backyard so that I can watch "chicken TV" from the patio.

You can't really tell because I was standing in the middle of the backyard to take that picture, but the back property line is up against a cornfield.

Yup... It's zoned agricultural-residential.

When we sat down with our buyers' agent to talk about what we wanted in a house, that was one of the first things I said. I think that he hasn't had a buyer tell him, "I need a house where I can have chickens," before.

Oh awesome Back up to a cornfield. Maybe they won't care if your birds go free ranging in there. Oh the possiblities.
