we are joining the portland urban homesteading ranks and have just added 5 new members to our family. please meet nelly, boots, mabel, sunshine, and fern. if luck is on our side we will find ourselves with 5 good hens. at this point we know for sure that 3 will be hens but the gender of the 2 bantams is yet to be known. by late summer we should be enjoying some delicious home grown eggs for breakfast.
pilar is a proud proud mother tending carefully to her new chicks. mateo, well, we keep him at a far distance just because we are pretty sure he does not know his own strength! david is hoping that the next 5 weeks will prove to be enough time to get a coop built. and i am trying to be totally on board, though feeling quite cautious of the additional load. it is a good thing they are so darn cute! we look forward to introducing you to them when you come to visit.

So cute! What a perfect Easter treat.
How amazing to bring in your own eggs!!!
Will you please do tutorial on coop building? We are seriously considering chickens, but will need some serious help in the containment/protection of them!!
