A new addition to the family...

... chickens!

First we had to build the coop...

and the run...
 
and then the chickens arrived! 

We have 4 Barred Plymouth Rock hens, though one of them has been crowing like a rooster some mornings. They are about 5 months old and have not started laying eggs yet, but hopefully they will soon. We wanted them for the eggs, but they are also quite entertaining. Dan spends hours out there just watching them scratch and peck and then chase each other around over scraps of food. Definitely better than TV.
