Nesting

This week my Husband thought the chickens in one coop stopped laying (as some times they do).

I heard a chicken in the front yard, Bocking her heart out the other day and 45 minutes later, I realized she was still bocking in the front yard.

 I went out to wear she was and moved the bush....

There were 10 eggs under the bush! 

I guess they didn't slow their laying after all!

Roosters!

Here's the Orpingtons and the Rhode Island Reds.

We are pretty sure by now that there are ALL hens! Our first batch of Sex-linked, on the other hand, are NOT all hens!

4 of the 6 were Roosters!

I loved hearing them every morning...and every afternoon...and most places in between!

But we aren't zoned for Roosters

and after advertising to GIVE them away

No one claimed them!

D had to have Tim come over and show him how to "process" them.

Thank you, Tim.

It was an experience that brought D a bit closer to his maker!

With the bees and chickens, we have certainly been brought closer to God. It's truly amazing, His works. We are so blessed.

Chicken Update

Remember how little they were?

They are getting so big now -

but still not quite laying.

Oh, and to ad to the original 6
(Jump, Jackson, Dallas, Denver, Justy, and Mac)... We got 5 more!
Scarlet, Ruby,
Buffy, Toppy, and
Mrs Dorothy.

Bok Bok Ba-Gok!

Isn't my husbands handy work SO adorable!! The boys helped paint. Move-in day! They are stoked to be outside!

New Addition (s)

We are on our way! The Dad took the boys over to pick out chickens yesterday, 6 to be exact! The kids have 2 each and they have named them:

Mar's are Dallas and Denver

Oh, and wait till you see the coop!

My husband is amazing . . .I think I've said THAT before!
