Chickens

Let's just back up here a bit.  Before we trashed all of our building 
plans, we decided to bring more creatures into our lot.  We decided to get some chickens...
...and they came in a little box in the mail...
...and we cleaned their bottoms so the little cuties wouldn't get sick (or even die!) from their vents sealing shut.  


Then they grew rather quickly, so we let them sample the out of doors.






We decided to name them after our grandmothers...after all, Viola, Hattie, Agatha, Kate, Florence, and Beatrix are great names for grandma's AND chickens.

Then we found a great coop for them online.  It was delivered by some lovely Amish folk in the middle of the night. 
Then they moved in and we watched them do some chicken things for many evenings.
