We are now chicken farmers! The first weekend in December we went and got six laying hens. Jordan and I built the coop during Madilyn's afternoon nap one Saturday. We love them, madilyn loves looking out at them, and when they are all making noise when one is laying she gets noisy too. We love getting fresh eggs, in the winter it is normal for them to lay every other day, so right now we get 3 eggs a day and in the spring we should be getting 6 a day. We are *thinking* about getting some meat chickens in the spring too since they only take 8 weeks, but with a new baby and a crazy one year old we will to see.
