Chicken Sunday

Another Sunday, another update on the chickens . . .

Kyler has renamed Robin Hood to Speed. He came to terms with us today that the chickens are girls and told us that Robin Hood was not a girl's name. So now we have Speed (Now ain't that feminine?).

They are all so big now! There are so many chicken feathers and not a whole lot of down left. Goodbye cute little chicks and hello chickens.

Because of their size, they won't last in the box much longer. Eric started construction on their new home, lovingly known as the Colonel Sander's Cottage. They should be moving into it within the next few weeks when Eric puts the chicken wire, doors, and gates up.

Eric, the boys, and the chickens were glad there was warm weather today so they could all frolic together in the backyard. I don't have pictures, but they were out there together for hours.

I'm impressed with their home so far. I can't wait to see the finished product and to come play with the girls.

Laura, You know there is absolutely no way you all are going to be able to eat those chickens!

Talk about some posh digs! Just a reminder from your favorite southern neighbor to keep that thing on the north side of your yard (haha)!
