Chicken Up Date!!!




So we now have 6 legal chickens in the eyes of the city. After collecting something like 40 households to sine, filling out 3 pages of paper work, paying fees ($2 hen), and an inspection for sanitation. The ladies are legal!!!!!!!!!!!
Jeremy built an amazing passive solar hen house that heats it self and installed a solar panel to run the water heater. We are currently gathering 2-3 eggs a day, I expect this to rise as it gets wormier.

We are only waiting for the ground to thaw so we can sink holes for the yard. Right now the girls have the run of the hole back yard. This will not work for my spring garden, since seedlings look like food to them. But for now it is fine. They get along great with the cat and dog. There only pereadador is Elijah, who "wonts to hold them mama". He has yet to cheach one. Thank goodness for the chicken.
Hoary for Chickens!!
