Raising the backyard chicken is really a family affair. This is Joe, Hannah and of course Jane. Everyone is getting involved. Even Mike, though he wouldnt admit it. He gets in on all the action too.
Joe built a Coop and run for a friend and Mike is helping him wire the run. Joe is the one that really does most of the day to day work. Cleaning, feeding, watering, and letting the chickens out in the morning and closing them in at night. My job is more of the nurturing, naming and photographing them. I do put in time helping Joe with the more mundane chores. We all enjoy eating the eggs.

My job, you guessed it, play with the chic.
Joe said I looked concerned. I thought she was going to fly off my shoulder.

It really is something that the whole family loves. Cant wait until Lacey get here for a visit and get her picture taken with the chickens.
This is so cool...I think you have the hardest job, i'm sure the chicks don't hold still very long. Jane is so cute, has she held any of the chicks yet?
ReplyDeleteYes Jane love to hold them. She only like the smallest ones. most of the others are getting too big and flap to much. She loves Patty, and I think Patty likes her.
