I Always Knew I Was Destined For Greatness!

This either means that I write really well, or that my blog doesn't make sense. I thought this was funny. I typed in a few of your blogs to see what the reading level was. Try it and see!

Update on "The Girls"

The chicks (which really aren't babies anymore) are doing so great! I really am learning so much, and I get so excited planning what the coop will look like and all. It's an adventure!

I didn't know this, but chickens like to sleep on a branch or dowel above the ground. To help them get the concept early, I placed a branch in their cage and I've been helping them learn how to do this. Most of them aren't enjoying it so much, but Maggie is totally getting it! I'm a proud mother.
We took our chicks outside yesterday for a little fresh air, and to let them peck around at the soil (and let them fertilize the lawn :)) They were such happy chicks! We kept laughing at them running and flapping around like a...well, a bunch of crazy chickens, I guess.

I think it's so funny! Maya totally gets a high voice when she's talking to the chickens. They are her babies, too.

If you look closely, you'll see that they are getting their feathers. They look really pretty, I think. The yellow one, Bailey, is getting some brown mixed in with her yellow. She is a favorite of mine.

And here's Hayden. Look at his face! He still loves to hold them and talk to them. They are such good pets!

"It's important to realize that you keep chickens for yourself and not for your children--because no one outgrows the pleasure of finding an egg in the nesting box, still warm."
