Meet Daisy and Sunshine!
The coop and small run
The inside of the coop...
8 nesting boxes and they have to share!
Our first eggs! And yup, YUM YUM!
A gal I know through AzBCR is moving to Florida and she had a few hens too... so I picked them up last Friday. I haven't even had time to take pictures of them yet, and today we lost one to heat stroke :( Sure makes me worry about my little man Peter Pan, but so far he seems to be handling the heat just fine. Of course I keep him in full shade during the day, and let him out at night to exercise... and I have seen him drinking water several times already, so even if he is not hungry for mama's milk, he knows how to keep hydrated!

I want chickens. Just two. Tim won't let me have them. Since it is something that, for some reason, he feels pretty strongly about, I just continue to buy my eggs.
Deb if you were close enough, i would gladly let you keep a couple hens in with mine! right now though it is so hot we aren't getting ANY eggs even with 5 hens... {sigh} i just hope we don't lose any more - talked to a friend last night who has lost 4 in this past week!
