Baby chickies

3.15.2013

Today marks four weeks since my preterm labor started.  I am over it.  Moving on...

I want chickens.  I used to have chickens when we were growing up.  My Mom was organic before it was tres chic.  I would save little chickies from the horse stable where I kept my horse at and bring them home.  We only ever had two or three chickens at a time but they were my buddies.  Especially "One Eyed Red".  She was my favorite one.  I would carry her around on my shoulder and even brought her in my room.

Anyways, now that we have established that I was sort of a bizarre kid, I want chickens again.  I want fresh, hormone/ antibiotic free eggs.  Chickens are super easy to care for and if they get proper care, they will produce a healthy egg a day.  I am sold.

Yesterday we did this...
We looked but did not buy.  I need a chicken coop before I buy two cutie little chickies.  It also happens to be illegal in my neighborhood to have chickens but details, schmetails.  We have a privacy fence and a big yard, I hope think we'll be ok.  

Eva was totally sold.  They also had little baby ducks.  I wish I had a lake so that it makes sense to buy a little duck.... I think the pregnancy hormones might be starting to make me go nutso. I hope this baby comes before my house turns into a farm....

  2. Just so you know, all animal products have hormones. You're looking for food items that have no added hormones.

  3. My sister has a few chickens and she LOVES them!! It's such a fun adventure to pursue (but you know that). I have ALWAYS wanted ducks, they are the cutest ever! I think my next house needs to have a pond for sure.

  5. Too funny! I keep trying to talk my husband into chickens because we do live on a farm... but he said absolutly NOT! Since I became pregnant I have been attempting to talk him into a puppy. I mean, we have 2 dogs already but they are hunting dogs, I want a puppy for play.

  10. Funny you say this because my husband had talked about getting chickens. I said not until you build a cage/coop for them. We'll see :) I heard eggs straight from the chicken are better then going to the store and getting them. I bet they are.

  11. I think it would be fun to have chickens, but I have bird dogs so I am not sure how that would work.

  12. I think it's so funny that it's illegal in your neighborhood. I wonder what kind of chicken disaster happened that they made that rule! ;)

  13. Ava is so cute and I love this post! I'm also glad you posted your reasoning behind this and I 100% agree with you. There are so many people who say "Oh I want chickies because they're cute and it's Easter." Ummm, what?

  17. Coincidently just this week my husband said he wanted to buy our Daughter a chick or a duck. We always had chickens growing up too & I liked the eggs but I was always scared of the chickens, lol. Too be honest I still kind of am, so I am not sure if I am on board or not.
