The Chickens are Here!

The long awaited day has arrived! Last week, Dad and I finished the run. The coop inspector came the following day, and we "passed." Finally, we took our paperwork to Animal Control, and then we became the proud owners of a permit for domestic hens.


So yesterday we went out to my cousin's house to pick up our hens. (My daughter would correct me, and say they are "pullets," which is the term for hens under 6 months of age.) She's correct, since these gals are about 3 months old. We brought them home in a big cardboard box, and delivered them into their new home. We hope they like it here!
