Chickens are finally in the coop!

Today, we put the chicks out into the "nesting" part of the coop, and so far, they have been doing fabulous!  I blocked off the door to down the ramp and into the run (for now) so they are safer.  They are growing up so fast!  Before you know it, I will be going down every morning to collect eggs!  I did put a light in with them, just to make sure they will be "ok".  Luckily, my mom's side has been raising chickens their whole lives, so I have had a lot of help and guidance!  I will be sure to keep you guys updated!  Please check the "Pictures" tab to see the pics!

Coop and Chicks!

I just finished building the coop, thanks to the help of my uncle and grandpa!  I will post the pictures soon!  Also, I got six baby Bantams!  Bantams are "mini" chickens, only getting 1-2 pounds.  I have had them for nearly 3 weeks now, so they are pretty big!  Pictures to come of them also!

Overall, these last 2-3 weeks were fun-filled and exciting!  Check back in for the pics!
