Chicken Coop

This is the Mother Hen (aka, Chicken Girl's mom) checking in to add a coop picture. I'm sure Chicken Girl will add an update to go with it soon!

Update

Hello. Yesterday we got the coop we ordered from E bay. The listing said, assembly: 6 easy steps, takes minutes to assemble. My dad worked on it 2 hours last night and it still isn't finished. It is also very small, I think it would work best for 2 chickens according to my research, Oh well. It's not awful. I am learning each chickens personality. Delila is fast and larger than the others. She is always begging me to go outside so she can stretch. Petunia is quiet and the others push her around a bunch. And Telula is the queen bee (queen chick?)She has first dibs on everything and she pecks the others all she wants. Oh, I love my little girls!

International Respect for Chickens Day

Today is my day. my special day. Sara at school didn't believe there was such a holiday, but I persisted and now she believes me. I drew a chicken on the white board at school where we put announcements and wrote, "Happy International Respect for Chickens Day!!!!!" I also wrote a poem and read it to the class:


"You see, chickens are my friends,
Well I guess that depends,
I must admit they are quite yummy,
But killing them is just so crummy,
And they're just sooo sweet,
Why use them for meat?
I guess all that I can say is,
Chickens are my friends.

Hey! Sorry I haven't checked with you guys in a while. We now have a 75 watt bulb in with the chicks because 60 wasn't enough. Delila, our Buff Orpington chick, Is noticeably heavier than the others-not that I'm sayings she's heavy. Also her wing feathers are many and large, she has cute little tail feathers tinier than you could imagine. I was takings the chicks out for a romp a few minutes ago and Delila safely flew out of my hand and landed. I was so proud. Mom is in awe as well. I hope you all marked your calendars for tomorrow, it's National Respect for chickens day. A great holiday. I'm excited, yea.
