Chickens! (and a tired girl)

Our chicks are finally in their coop!  Dave did such a great job and it looks very plush :)


The picture above they are only 1 week older than the picture below, they grow so fast!

 We did have a tragedy the first week during their stay outside.  It turns out Aspen is not as timid as we thought and she got our chick named "coyote".  I found it and it was really traumatic for a while.  The kids went through all the stages of grief in about 5 minutes.  We're all doing a little better now...


On another note, one night Lydia fell asleep before going to bed (she crashes about once a month).  I still wanted to brush her teeth because she had caramel popcorn so here I am, brushing her sleepy teeth ;)

Those chickens are awesome!! That's amazing that Aspen was bold enough to go for one of them. I didn't think she had it in her! I'm sorry for your loss though. btw that picture of Lydia is super funny, it kind looks like she's just bored.
