4 + 2 = 6

Shortly after we bought our 4 baby chicks I was telling grandpa that we'll see how it goes with the 4 and maybe add a couple more next year...well he thought we should have them right away and he went out and bought us 2 more chicks. The cute little black ones are Black Australorps we named Halle and Lafawnda (we had to give the black chicks black names). We had to separate them though, the older ones kept picking on them. I had read to put them in a container they could see each other so they could get use to each other. After a couple days the black ones started jumping out of the container so I figured it was up to them to fend for themselves. The older ones had gotten use to them and had stopped picking on them by then.

Meanwhile I had to start building this. Our chicken coop. It has been quite the project and has taken a lot longer then I had hoped. The stupid weather has not cooperated with me and when I have all my days off it's usually crappy weather.
