Whoa, sorry, but I don't remember that I have this blog very often until someone comments. Thanks, Letitia, for remembering that I'm here!
The chickens are growing up. They're 4 months old now. Just one more month until they are old enough to start laying. Here is a picture of them at 8 weeks. I need to take some newer pictures!
In this stumbling economy, we have decided to try our hand at raising our own chickens. We got a coop and fencing from a neighbor who moved and couldn't take his chickens. We disassembled that on his property and moved that to ours.
And we got some 3 week old chickens from another local chicken farmer yesterday. Here they are:
Right now they are in the kitchen keeping warm. This week we plan on putting the coop and fencing back together and helping the new hens to relocate to the outside environment. What an adventure!
“My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”
(Col. 2:2,3)
