Our Pet Chickens



My family got chickens back in March of last year. I have wanted chickens for a long time because I love fresh eggs and being self sufficient. We got 8 Rhode Island hens. Sadly, we lost one to a raccoon back in October. Thankfully, we still have 7! Oh, and I am getting 5 chicks in a few weeks. I will post pictures once I get them because I am so excited to have a small chicken farm.





This winter has been really mild. So the kiddos and I have been able to play outside a lot. The chickens have enjoyed being able to eat greens throughout the winter too.




The boys love playing with the chickens. They love feeding them "snacks", collecting eggs, and petting them.




And, of course, after they play with the chickens, they have to play around in the yard. These boys sure are cute.
