Sunday we went to our friend's baby blessing up in Everrett and had a wonderful time at their house afterwards with their family and friends.
Last week we got the baby chicks in the mail- yep, that's how they do it! Even the feed stores get theirs in the mail, so you might as well go that route . .
Stephen just has to put the finishing chicken wire on the open part of the coop- that little side door is where the nesting boxes are and we can easily gather eggs (when there are some)
He modified it to make a good brooding area- it needs to be at least 95 degrees for the chicks!The whole side of the coop comes off for easy cleaning
One of our 11 Rhode Island Reds, they look bigger than even 3 days before! Every day they get more real feathers and get bigger
This is the one rare breed they sent, they throw it in for free. We don't know what kind it is, but right here it's a little sick- and you can tell it won't be as big as the Rhode Islanders. I found out what was wrong and this chick is on the mend now
The girls are getting good at scooping up the chicks and the chicks are getting good at letting them hold them. Domesticated chicks! That's what we need. By the way, we will be selling some of the chicks, we can only have 8 and besides that I am not sure the coop is big enough for 8. We built it with 3 in mind . . . then they upped the limit to 8
Odessa takes her ballet practice very seriously, they are both still taking lessons at the Community Center
I picked up this knight costume at a thrift store thinking one of my friends with a boy would want it for Halloween, but I think we will keep it so the boys that come over have something to dress up in! Ada at once insisted he dance with her after he was done slaying some dragons
Once they got the twirling thing down, they were having a riot! It was SO ADORABLE

Looks like your house is having lots of fun this fall!
Good luck raising chickens! That will be fun for your girls.
The ballet is super cool! I have a friend who really wants chickens, where did you get yours? Can you email me?
