The Best Coop View in the Canyon

Our new chicks have the best chicken coop view in the canyon. Those chicks have a better view from their hilltop oasis than we do.

Buffy (Light Brahma breed) and Brahma (Buff Orpington breed) joined our landlords 8 other chicks on Saturday. We play with them daily and Tucker hikes up the hill every night to make sure their heat lamp is turned on. We read up on the proper care and feeding of these cute ( but timid) animals and now know that a happy chicken equals many eggs. We'll have to wait another 7 weeks to see how happy the view makes our chickies.





Tucker: "Are you going to name your chicks?" (a good question considering he has two young children)
Ralph our landlord: "Oh no, the chickens are to be treated as livestock."

So he is not big on the pet/livestock thing. His favorite book probably isn't Charlotte's Web.
