Meet My PEEPS...

On the way out the door to Denver last week I grabbed the chicken book. 
This book has been sitting on Arts' to read list for weeks. 
on the road

I read to Art, and we realized that it probably wouldn't be so hard to have chickens 
all we needed was a coop, and we had something that with a few 
inexpensive changes would make a great coop. 

It's Spring and we found chickens at several places to 
buy... 





                                   Look at these little cuties.  8 of them...


                             These are my peeps....



                                We put them under a warm light in a big blue container 
                                                    and brought them home 


                                     All Art really had to do is put a floor over the dirt floor, 
                                                      


We already had electricity. 
He is building a couple of nesting boxes and a place for 
them to roost 
and we should be set...


                                                  Did I mention we bought two turkeys also?
                                                        they are cute but the white one pecks 
                                                         the chicks...so we will have to get 
                                                              them in their new home soon. 
                                                         
                                                         Does this make us a real farm?
