Playing Chicken

It's that time of year! Here the boys are operating heavy equipment to till the garden.  Why use a simple tiller when you can borrow something you can DRIVE!!!
 


Here is our find of the week in the classifieds.  We lucked out on this little chicken coop.  I bought chickens on a whim Monday, and that day we looked online and found this.  By the evening we had a chicken coop! Rich didn't even have to build it!



The girls and their peeps.


  When Mom says "no!" Dad says "Hop in let's go!"  We won't do this with any of you without your approval.


SHO's dream of having his own "chickie".  It is not a chicken coop, by the way-- it is a chickie house.

Never thought "cool" and "cute" applied to chickens until just now. Grandpa Stubbs' books on raising chickens are up for grabs, still. Of course, you'll have to scale it down a bit.

Looking forward to a picnic this summer with some good Kentucky Fried!

Now that is a deluxe chickie house. It is nicer than most trailer homes! Those chickens are sure to produce some super fancy eggs. :)

You guys are the best country cousins EVER. We definitely need to plan a visit this summer.!

When you have taken care of chickens and turkeys thru your teenage years, cleaned the poop out of huge chicken coops just to fill them with chickens again, you really don't think of chicken coops as cool and cute.
