Chickens for Caleb!

For some time now my nephew Caleb has been asking to see what our chickens look like. So Caleb my dear this post is for you!

Remember when Uncle Dan first brought them home and they looked like this?

 

Then two weeks later they looked like this:

 

Check out their cute little feathers growing on their wings! They sure liked to cuddle in the corner!

 

Now four months later they look like this!

 

 

And this! Isn't their chicken run cute that Dan built?

 

He did an awesome job building them a big old coop and chicken run over in the corner of the yard where I hardly even notice them! They still like to sleep next to each other but they do it side by side stretched across the roost inside the coop now.

 

Dan also just finished building their nesting boxes so in a couple more months when they are ready to lay eggs they will have a spot.

 

Our total number of chickens is 15! I know, I know, when Uncle Dan first convinced me into buying chickens he told me 6 or 8. Then he brought home 12 and we gained a few more when his co-workers son brought home the chicks that hatched in his elementary school class and his mom said when they grew too big they had to come to the Riding's! In a couple months when we are bringing in over a dozen eggs a day our neighbors better be ready to enjoy them! When you come to visit I promise I'll make you an omelet!
