Adam had a hard job!

Naming animals. All of them? Seriously?

I'm having enough trouble naming the three newest additions to our family... suggestions will be happily received.

It all began about a month ago when I was on a pallet-project kick: potting bench, garden stool, home decor... why not a CHICKEN COOP? Especially since my crazy friend Jenn just ordered 30 chicks in the mail a few months prior. And so began my quest to construct a very inexpensive setup for our new Silkie friends.

 A zoomed in view of their new abode from the patio:


The front door:


The back door (the site from where we will sneak in and snatch eggs in a few months)


This is how they eat and drink: upcycled grape juice bottle and a dollar-store saucer!

 

Three Silkies to name: a light-grey, fluffy one; a darker-grey, fluffy one; and a curly-haired one...


Don't they just look huggable??


Yep!


Check out their feet!  Good thing they don't use those nails to scratch people!


 They even help compost!


 Ruby wants a chicken. :)



P.S. I have not forgotten about the month of May. It has a lot of pictures to sort through, so that post may or may not be coming soon. Sorry, Steve. :)
