Chickens


Gracie has a book called "We eat dinner in the bathtub". Well, we don't eat dinner in the bathtub, but we do have chickens in the shower. We have decided to be provident by raising chickens for eggs. I have wanted chickens for a long time and Chris finally relented in a big way. We bought 12, yes 12, chickens. They are too little to be outside so of course they live in our downstairs shower.

Truthfully, they creep me out a little bit. I don't hold them, feed them, or really even like them. I'm using them for their eggs. The kids, however, can't get enough of them. Gracie has a favorite that she named Abby. The fact that we have chickens has made Gracie quite popular with the other kids in the neighborhood.
