The Davidson Chicks


We have a few new chicks in our house.  
Pepper, Lilac, Raven, Penny, Rose, Gertie, Fluff Fluff, Queen Alberta, Elana, and Nugget are the newest additions to our family.  Don't ask me to tell you which one is which - but the girls seem to be able to tell them apart. 


We couldn't just pick one breed so we chose five different ones! This is our first time with chickens so everything is an experiment experience.


The chicks are currently using our upstairs bathroom as their nursery.  When they get a little bigger and are ready to go outside, I am hoping to have something like this amazing chicken coop from Heather Bullard ready for them to move into:

I hope you get that coop before your upstairs bathroom turns into one :) We got two ducks as an easter present and they are so smelly! It is to cold to leave them outside at night yet but I am greatly anticipating the day when they can swim away and be free :)
The coop you want looks great! Seems just your style. Will you go to the farm every day for eggs?

We hope they all live, and that is my favorite coop. I'll just live vicariously through you since I now am placed in the "burbs"

Our neighbors' chicks are constantly on our kids' minds. Here's a different take on a chicken coop (but a bit less stately than your pick): http://www.jetsongreen.com/2011/03/modern-chicken-coop-designs-studioh.html
