After being in Kansas, the farm country feel must have gotten to Bob, because before we even got home he had to stop at Tractor Supply to get chickens!! Actually he told me he was going in for some chicken feed, since we have ordered a dozen from a local farmer and instead came out with 6 peeps and all sorts of chicken equipment. I guess he just couldn't wait for our dozen. So now we will have 18 egg laying chickens. Anyone need fresh eggs???
And of course a chicken coop will be needed as soon as the peeps grow out of their cardboard box in the basement, so Bob the Builder gets to work!
Stay tuned for the progress of the coop...don't hold your breath!

bob the builder :-) too funny! too bad you didn't get them as eggs so you could watch them hatch
Yes, I'm sure there is an incubator in our future!
Ohhh. I love chicks! They get a little less attractive when they sprout adult feathers and the roosters start to make squeaky crows, but such fun. It always seems to take so long for them to reach laying age--about 6 months. If you have electricity in your hen house for lights, they will lay more eggs in winter than otherwise. Can't wait to see the finished coop.
