Chickens joined the family in May. Oh boy! Tom & the kids had been wanting to raise chickens for some time, but I really didn't think the subdivision covenants would allow us to. We got the "thumbs up" from the subdivision property manager, and brought the girls home a week later. Tootsie, Enchanted, Bo, Homer, and baby jr, bowser have provided hours of entertainment for the kids! Ella & Claire are 100% in charge of feeding & watering them, and we have been pleasantly surprised at what a great job they're doing so far. Snickers & Tootsie have been replaced with snow & Rocky. A few Random chicken facts for you....The girls are convinced that Bo is a rooster. You tube can teach you just about anything...including how to clip a chicken's wing. We know this because chickens can fly & neighbor dogs can kill chickens:(. Our chickens won't begin laying eggs until after their first molt this fall. And finally, pre-teens think it's pretty cool to paint chicken toes!
