So we decided to add some new members to our family! Braden had some chickens in his class at school and began asking for some. But it was ultimately Anthony's decision and we thought it'd be a nice way to get a "pet" without the full responsibility. Thankfully Poppa was still around to help build the extension to their coop. They've been fun! But they eat a lot! We've given them the tomato plants in the garden... not sure what will happen when those are gone.
They were so cute and little and fluffy when we first got them!
Braden named his Squeaky.
Hunter named his Salty.
Ready to head out into the world.
They do like Braden. He was sitting in the chair and they climbed up on him and cuddled in.
They're not so cute and fluffy anymore! They're getting quite comfortable. Anthony named his chick Ernestine. And mine is Choco.
Love that the boys get to take on the responsibility that comes with owning the chicks.
Even Hunter gets in on the help! Although the chickens know to run the other way when they see him coming.
Hunter told me he was going to be "popping a blood muscle" with his heavy lifting. Pretty close to a blood vessel I guess.
