As you know we moved recently and have been busy getting settled. We didn't get the farm we were hoping for but have almost half an acre, which isn't bad for the middle of the city! We're trying our hands at urban home-steading! We got our raised beds in over the last couple of weeks and our garden is planted. Today we got baby chicks!!! I've been wanting my own chickens for
years now! I jokingly told friends that chickens were the
real reason we were separating from the military- I wanted stability for chickens! We were so excited for J to get home with the chicks. Abigail ran to the car yelling, "Chicks! Chicks!"
 |
| "Chicks! Chicks!" |
 |
| Wonder and awe! |
 |
| Love! |
 |
| Warm and toasty! |
We recruited our neighbors to help us name them, but couldn't tell them apart! So we decided to paint their nails! HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Clearly these chickens have a life of laying eggs ahead of them; they're
not for meat!
 |
| Abigail loved painting their nails! |
 |
| Poor little chick was terrified! Look at her eyes squeezed shut! |
 |
| This one's "Wendy". We also have a "Sparkles" but those are the only names so far! |
My girls are just terrified of animals and I'm hoping and praying they'll warm up to holding these baby chicks. I want them to be in charge of them soon! :)

OM Goodness!!!!! This is TOO adorable!!! <3. I love this!!!
Wow! In Sundresses already! We have had snow for the last week!!
Your chicks are so cute! Oh, and so are your baby chickens!
Thanks for posting pics of your girls. They get cuter all the time!
Happy Easter!
Hey! Totally forgot to write you back after I saw your comment on my blog! Congrats on the new house!! And you are going to love having the chicks! The kids will get more and more comfortable with them. I don't have any pics yet of ours on my MG blog, but if you go here (the kids' blog) it is pretty much all I've been posting about! Lol! Ours are 5 weeks today- www.keepingupwithisabel.blogspot.com
Oh my! Cuteness overload!
Aren't chicks adorable??? But not as much as the girls.
So cute! The girls just get cuter and cuter! Like Julie, I am jealous of the sun dresses, there is still snow on the ground here!
I can't even think of something else in this house needing me for nourishment. So I'm putting off getting chickens. :) Can't wait to hear how it goes.
I love this! We're getting into urban homesteading too!
Whenever you get time, can you FB me some gardening tips? My planting season is about 3 week behind you, so plenty of time to copy you. I need "good for the table, but easy to grow".
I am so excited for your new home, the new chicks, and wow those girls are cuties!!
What an exciting adventure! Happy Easter!!!
I cannot believe how big your girls are! And I must've missed the second additon:)
I began reading your blog back before you adopted and love hearing about your natural lifestyle. Chickens are awesome!
Love it! Dying to get chickens myself one day :). Girls look absolutely adorable in their dresses!
