Eggs and Hunger Games


That's right, folks, eggs! E-G-G-S! We've had a steady flow of eggs coming in since August. Chicks are fine, getting bigger and bigger. For any Suzanne Collins fans out there, Catching Fire is out and even better than the first Hunger Games. we hope that you loyal reader out there will take my suggestion to READ THE HUNGER GAMES(see chickens frollick in their new digs)! One of the best books ever. I couldn't put it down. When I read the Hunger Games i spent all day curled up in it. If you don't believe me, ask my parents. Catching Fire was, if anything, better.
Well, loyal blog followers, it's time to go down for breakfast.
Lots of Love,
(for Catching Fire)

So Spencer, Tess, Mary, Jenna and Maggie got together with Caroline and Chelsea for a school's out party and the chickens were quite the hit.

Nightline report on backyard chickens in NYC

Follow this link to a Nightline story about raising chickens in NYC. Nice, but surely small and expensive coop for three chickens, eh?

Chickens. Word!

yo!
so as y'all know, our peepers are in the chicken shack and are not really peepers anymore- they're chickens! And her's a note to all future vistors- if there is a chicken next to the door, and you open the door, it will try to get out. Not that the chicken in question did, but just a little heads up.Most of the gals get the ladder now, there are only two that do not.
sorry i haven't bloggrd in a while though. 


Luv,
SpEk

Chicken Moving Day




OK. So the chicks are outside in their new home. They really seem to enjoy it, and were not completely freaked out by Baron, who we are babysitting for the next week. Pics below:

More Chicken Coop Progress




Thanks to my garage sale find of the month (a new pneumatic nailer), progress on the coop has been much faster. Here are the latest pics:
