I Finally Have Chimkins

FINALLY! After many, many years of thinking about it, planning to get it, then not pushing through - it's finally happened!

I'm officially a proud chicken mama!

In case you're unaware, I've always loved chickens. I really don't know why, or what triggered it but I've always liked having them. When I was a kid, I remember that you can win them in these raffle carts that were just outside our school. I remember that I couldn't win any - so I tracked down the hatchery (by me, a then-11 year old, forcing the raffle vendors to tell me LOL) and went there to buy two chicks. I came home with chicks .

How did I get this started?

​There's another chicken lady at work, and we were talking about me wanting to have some when she offered to give me her coop. She upgraded their chicken coop and has no use for the smaller one that she has. I figured I can't have a big flock in the city anyways, so why not take it right? Now Bear also can't refuse me because we already have the coop  it really has to happen now! So off we went to pick up the coop –

Then we decided to add a 2nd coop – just because!

Super excited, can’t wait to see their rainbow eggs!
