Eggs Anyone?

Quinn has been busy building a chicken coop. Unfortunatly I didn't get any pictures of the process. Anyway... I did get some pictures right after we got them. Mimi was sick, so she is wearing my big ol' jacket outside, trying to have fun with the rest of us. We got 5 chickens and 1 rooster. The kids named them....

Bones
Tink
Foo Foo
KFC
Nugget
and Bed Head is the Rooster

It has been nice to have our own eggs and the kids enjoy having them run up to them when they go outside. The dog however is not too fond of them. Actually she is... She just wants to eat them. We have to tell her to quit barking at them. Hopefully she'll get use to them soon.
This would be Bed Head...

We seriously need some chickens! We go through more eggs than I think a family of 10 goes through!! My husband has them for breakfast everyday and anytime he wants a snack he fries an egg!

Seems like this is the trend in SJ these days. It is a great thing with how expensive eggs are! I laughed when I first saw Chris and Keirsten's chicken mansion! Hilarious.
