Chickens!

Guess what we got over the weekend?? That's right! Chickens!! We are one super excited family over here. We had an incredible opportunity that we just couldn't pass up. We originally weren't planning on getting chickens until we moved to our new house, but Craig's uncle and aunt were moving and couldn't take their chickens with them, so they let us have them. The best part is that they included a deluxe model coop with the chickens, so all we had to do was pick it all up and take it home. We've already got 5 eggs and we've only had them for a day. Although, one of the chickens is having a hard time getting the egg in the nest, as you can see. I've started feeding them flax seed so the eggs will be full of omega 3 fatty acids. 

I think my kids are more excited than anyone. Our first morning with the chickens, they woke up early and checked for eggs. When they found one in there, they ran into our room and woke us up to tell us. They didn't even do that on Christmas or Easter! Since that morning happened to be Mother's Day, I called dibs on that egg and Craig cooked it up for me to eat for breakfast. It was delicious! I can't wait for more chicken adventures!
