Chickens really are some of the best backyard pets

Yes, I'm writing a post about my chickens! Yes, I have become the crazy chicken lady! haha but I love it!! It all started last Christmas when I got the best gift ever!! My parents and Sis built me the best chicken coop! Link here if you want to see more of the best coop ever!

We ended up getting 4 baby pullet chicks the second week of May, two Plymouth rocks and two Easter eggers.  Top left is Lovely, top right is Pocahontas, bottom left Pepper and bottom right Liberty.

Instantly Justin and I feel in love with them and there cuteness! I knew raising chicks would be a fun adventure but I didn't realize how fun and I'm so happy Justin loves it as much as I do!

Since having the coop I treated the wood with a stain treatment and added a sign and planter, added some metal to the top of the run for some more shelter from the weather and made some nesting boxes. I'll defiantly be adding more metal signs!

They grow up fast!! They loved moving into the coop.

  

Two weeks ago we got our first egg and it was so eggciting!! 

Since then all four have started laying and they each have there own color of egg which I love! I can tell who is laying and who isn't. On average we have been getting 3 eggs  a day! 

If any one of you have been on the fence about getting chickens I recommend getting a few and giving it a try! I'm so glad we did! Now I'm wanting a bigger coop so I can get more hahaha!

Back yard chicken coop

This year for Christmas I got spoiled!! My parents, my sister and brother in law surprised me with this chicken coop. I have been wanting one for a few years now and now I finally have the best one ever, and they made it them selves. Spring can't come soon enough so I can get my chicks.
