Isn't that what having chickens is all about?  lol.  Anyone that has built their own coop can attest to that.  LMAO.

Good point!!

Does she get to name the chickens?

She's 2.5. We're hoping she grows out of it or at least her skin gets more used to it.

Ya hope so! Blessings to you guys at 2 1/2 that should be awesome for her to get chicks! That's about when we started with my daughter

She named hers daisy. It's the Easter egger. So her chicken will have "hopefully" a different colored egg. She's pretty excited. So is our 1.5 year old. He can say chicken. So far he has no signs of the sun allergy. Here's hoping. It's gonna be tough for her. But she has a great attitude!!

Need help.....got a hen sitting on eggs for over 21 days. Haven't tried to candle any, but think they are duds. Got them on EBay . What I need is a few chicks to stick under her so she will be a happy hen. Everyone has quit selling baby chicks in central Oregon, anyone know of any place in central Oregon still having baby chicks? I've called hatcheries and they say 5 weeks till they can ship. Need them now, or just tell her to get off the nest and back to laying.;P

Wilco has gets fresh chicks pretty much every few weeks. Here is a list of their locations. Perhaps one is close enough for you to go and pick some up. I'd call first and find out what they have on hand and what might be coming in soon. At my store it is good to reserve them, and they can do special orders.

That is a perfect name for a chicken! Kids are tough, especially girls! hehe. I may need her help with naming my Jubilee cockerel, she is really good at picking names.

I'll ask her what she would name a boy chicken when she gets up from her nap. Lol. Your birds are so beautiful by the way.

So you can see why I'm more worried about including my daughter than alienating non- existent neighbors. It'll all work out I'm sure. Some welcome to the neighborhood cookies and some eggs now and then should help smooth the proximity issue. There are 3 others on my side of the block with chickens... And I bake a hell of an oatmeal cookie!
