Your Life Changes

This whole chicken thing has been a process in the making. It started about 3 years ago begging my husband to get some. His reply was we are not getting any flippen chickens. No, No, No. Then he started getting the idea that a homestead would be nice to create on our land. So.........we started this evolution with CHICKENS. The arrival date was Friday. I can not tell you how excited I was to pick them up. I realized on the way home that our lives had changed forever. There was never going to be a day that we had not ever owned a chicken. It was kind of a neat realization. It made me realized just how fast we change our lives. Sometimes it is the most simplist of ways. Our lives are supposed to change. Maybe I was not meant to be a city girl. I sure like the country and I love my chickens. We now call them the Ladies of the House or The Girls. Their new home is completed and once they have left the brooder they will be able to move in. It has been a very fun project for me to create this space. I bought the chandelier yesterday and it is going to be perfect. The nesting boxes were custom made by a dear friend and we are now in the process of finding the perfect tree for them to roost on. Photos will follow. In the meantime, put your red boots on and change your life forever. Happy Mothers Day......
