Baby Room and Baby Chicks

A little bit of our life this week...

So its official. 

We now fit in with the other fine country folk out here in the sticks. 

Recently Grandma told the grandsons she was going to hatch silkie chickens for them.
They started out with like 16 eggs 
and ended up with 3 chicks each. 
A predator thinned our flock to 2.
I told hubby if we have 2 chickens, we might as well get more and make it worth our while.

He was at a job yesterday.
They had baby chicks and chickens running all over the property while he worked.
He came home and told me he found free chickens, if we want them. 
( AFTER a discussion with the owners :))
 
So we went back to the job last evening and the owners gave us 8 Plymouth rock chicks and a handsome rooster!
They are actually quite pretty and the rooster made sure I didn't over sleep today! >: /


 So we now have a total of 11 chickens roaming around here..
and Sebastian has spent most of the day outside with them.

 And here we have the carpenters working hard on the cozy little coup.
