Yes! We have chickens. Fifteen to be exact! The picture above was taken a couple nights ago when we brought them out for their first taste of the great outdoors . Until then they were in the basement in a kiddie pool with a heat lamp. They didn't know what to think at first but it didn't take long for them to adjust and start pecking around. While I tended to the girls Rob moved their kiddie pool to their new temporary home in the old egg cooler. After a few weeks there they get to move to their permanent home in the big red barn!

The girls are starting to get their feathers and honestly, aren't quite as cute as they were when we brought them home. But we are starting to see personality in them though. When they hear us open the door they strain their little necks to look at us. They are getting more comfortable with being handled. The Bard Rocks and the RI Reds are the most social. The Isa Browns would rather we just leave them be. Max picked out a chick for himself that was a different breed. Because there is only one of this breed she stands out. Her name is Hunter. :-)
