Our Chickens

Back in April we went to Wilco in Battle Ground and picked up four baby chicks. Logan's family raised chickens when they were little and Grandma and Grandpa May still have lots of chickens. Our kids love them. We wanted some of our own!

Aren't they so cute? I wish they stayed small longer! We kept them in our garage until they got too tall and then they moved into Verne's chicken coop for several months while Logan and Verne built the chicken coop. It took awhile for Logan to start... and I was starting to wonder if the chickens would ever come back to our house. But they did!
September 6th we got them back!

Logan and Verne built this awesome chicken coop.
It drew quite the crowd when they brought it.


We love our chickens! They are the best pet. They require very little work and they are so entertaining to watch. We love to feed them our scraps. We can even watch them from inside which is fun too.





Tonight was the first day that we let them into our yard. We will do this every once in awhile until we get our chicken run set up on our side yard. Verne told us they would march right up into their coop once it got dark and sure enough they did. It was fun to watch!
