Our girls are getting so big! Keeping chickens is so much fun. They are so personable and are low maintenance. All of the kids love feeding them and playing with them. I don't think Rich is quite as smitten as we are but that's okay. Each chicken has their own personality--Cougar and Kevin are "lap chickens"--seriously, they practically jump into our arms when we enter the chicken yard. Jazzy is clearly in charge and very aggressive about food. Penelope and Spiderman are completely stuck-up and think they are above us, and Dorothy is NOT a people-chicken. Imagine!

The chickens are 3 months old now, and as big as they seem, they will yet get bigger! We are anxiously awaiting our first eggs, but it will probably still be a while yet. In the meantime, they are a fun diversion!
