My Baby Chicks

  Hi Everyone I'm doing this quick mid week post to tell you we have two new additions to our family! These are my baby chicks both affectionately named for my granmas. This is Gertie: She is a frizzle, aren't her feathers adorable?! She is my favorite boy am I glad chickens cant read!lol

And this is Lucy:She is a black Cochin her feet are fluffy with more and more feathers comin in daily. She is a lil bully even though she is the smaller of the two.
Let me tell you chicken raising has been a blast so far even with the poop lol! although I am still a lil nervous Im getting more and more confident in my ability to handle them. 
Over the last week Shan has takin a few weeknights to build them a home and I love it!


Shan hard @work she is the sweetest!



I ordered this coop at Sams if you have a membership its a great deal! Its pretty sturdy and solid the only thing I will replace this weekend will be the latches they were way too flimsy and I need the girls to be safe.
This weekend we will also do a small bit of planting around the coop just for pretty factor.
The girls seem happy and in about four to five months I'm told by their breeder to maybe expect some egg laying.





My Girls seem pretty happy in their new home! And please any of you fellow bloggers that have experience with chicks feel free to share.

Oh, I'm so happy for you! seriously, I really would like some chickens but with this lifestyle of ours it's not possible (yet). I like to read the blog of Tilly's nest. Melissa has great info about backyard chickens so if you want have a look at hers.
we are moving in August to Dubai so I'm not blogging a lot lately but your chicken post caught my eyes *smile*
All the best, Maureen x

Fred would die to have chickens. Our former neighbor did and he loved them. Still, she wasn't supposed to have them. No one told on her. I wonder how long we could go before one of our neighbors reported us?
Here is the post I wrote about our neighbor.

This is so neat! How did I miss this post? I love the coop Shan built. It looks like a luxury condo! Congratulations on your new babies. They sure are cute!

So fun! I am really enamored with chickens. I did a post about my neighbors who have them. BUT their coop isn't as cute as yours. Sam's Club, huh? Wow!

Warmly, Michelle

thank to jim for that!
they are sweet little chaps
the coop is ideal for them but not very robust! ( I have been given one similar)
just make sure your screw down the nesting box lid.. I lost a broody hen from one of my nesting boxes when a badger pulled it out
if you need any help anytime dont hesitate to e mail me

How cute is Gertie! I just got chickens too and I love it so far, but no eggs yet :) Though your coop is much more stylish than mine. Good work Shan!
