Maggie Got Chicks

Maggie has been focused on getting chickens for about six months. She even put together a presentation listing the costs, benefits, cons and counter arguments about getting chickens. Gary finally gave in, and we ordered the little buggers in April. He, Mags and our neighbor at the lake, Cort, have been building a chicken coop.


Yesterday, they arrived via USPS. We got the call and drove to the local post office to pick them up. They came in a little bitty box and were peeping like crazy.



Mags made up a brooder box and stuck the little suckers in there. They are so cute!




Maggie is now the proud chicken mama of eight little babies. She got Wyandottes, Australorps and Easter Eggers.


I'm looking forward to the fresh eggs in about six months!
