Lillian and Vivvian
This is Lil, Viv is hiding behind her.
Our two new chickens!!! Bryan, Kim, Andrew and I have been talking about building a chicken coop and getting chickens for awhile now and this past weekend we made it happen. Lil and Viv are going to live in Bryan and Kim's backyard. Since we live in the city, we decided to start small with a sort of trial run. The guys built a "ghetto" chicken coop out of materials that we had laying around our houses (Olive is going to have to do without a dog house for awhile). We only got 2 chickens to start out with to see if it is worth building a bigger coop and getting more chickens. We want to see how loud and messy they are first. So far we have had them for 3 days and they are great. Bryan cut their wings so they can't fly and he has let them roam around in his backyard a bit. We are going to need to get better at catching them though, getting them back in their coop has been hilarious!!!
A garden box and dog house are our starting pieces=)

Our first egg!!!
There will be more pictures to come. It looks like we only have one chicken, but I promise there are 2!!!

Ok, now I REALLY want to get chickens! I mean, I do live on a farm afterall!!! The only thing that has stopped me so far is that I need to figure out what to do with them in the winter... can they handle snow?? Do you have any good resources on raising chickens that might get me started?
