Our little farm


Our chickens are getting bigger, and learning how to fly the coup. The liked to perch on the side of the box so we had to splurge and get a bigger box. Gus loves to watch and pester those poor chicks. His favorite thing to do is pretend to throw his ball or balloon in their box, they freak out and try to hide from the giant baby monster coming to destroy them. I am constantly telling him to leave the poor chicks alone. This last picture is of Gus with Stewie, our neighbors cat that thinks we are its owners. Every morning we open the blinds and stewie jumps up on the window sill to say hi. He comes at night to the front window and watches Gus run around the front room.

Chicks have arrived

Gus seeing them for the first time, he didn't quite understand at first...




Chicks have arrived and Gus loves them. He is "pretty" good at being soft with them. Loves giving them kisses. They were the loudest three chicks I have ever heard on Saturday when we got them but they have quieted down a lot since then. We got one silkie bantam (the white one) and I don't remember the kind of the other two. Silkie doesn't have a name yet but Kyle named the other ones Over and Easy. lol. They are making me somewhat vegetarian right now. I get very queasy while eating, I start thinking about them and then it is all down hill from there. I could only eat one blueberry muffing the morning we got them, then for lunch we decided to have chicken sandwiches (the canned kind from costco), that didn't go over too well. I have always had a issue with eggs, I seldom eat eggs alone by themselves so these cute little chicks are just adding to my problem.  Silkie will look like the white chicken below.  They are supposed to be more like a cat then chicken very tame, and likable. They have black meat which is disturbing to think about but they are the cutest chickens ever!
