Chickens

So for those of you who don't know, for Easter we got the kids baby chicks. Megan got one too so we have 6 and as the kids were starting to pick out names Clyde (Jared's dad) said we couldn't name them pet names as in about 6-8 weeks we will have to eat them. Apparently these are meat chickens and will grown rapidly and then become too fat for their poor little legs to hold them up. So the names are: Chick-fil-A, Cordon Blue, Malibu, KFC, Rotisserie, and BBQ. Yes, they are quite funny names and we had so much fun brainstorming what their names should be. They are getting in their wing feathers. The kids put them out in a kennel during the day but today we discovered they can get out as I went outside to check on them and all 6 were sitting on the grass next to it. Elisa fixed it up to try to keep them in and it worked most the time. Now it is raining and they are in a box on the kitchen counter stinking the place up. Yuck! I need to get some more cardboard boxes to rotate them through. Once they are bigger they can sleep outside. Maybe in a week or less (I hope!). The kids adore the chickens and ask constantly if they can go play with them. Little Roo especially LOVES them! She will cuddle it and hug it and kiss it and hide it in her shirt when you tell her to put it away and come inside. She tries to be so sneaky, lol! I will have to upload some of the pictures we took when we first got them and then I will have to upload updates of them periodically as well. I promise I will do better at this blogging as I don't keep a regular journal any more and this is fun and I guess semi personal. I don't know who if anyone will be reading my blog, but it doesn't matter right now it's for me!
