This last picture is of what we were hoping for-EGGS! They started laying on the third day of being here and we got 4 brown eggs and 1 green one that day. As you can see, the kids thought it was pretty neat too. :-)
On a side note-we now think we know what we want to do with our old outhouse. We're hoping to make it into a chicken coop! The pen in the barn is a little on the small side for them and the outhouse is just sitting there uninhabited. We'll just need to put up a fence and they'll have all sorts of room! :-)

Wow, I can't imagine having chickens and eggs. Tell me how the eggs are? Do you have to do anything special to them?
I keep trying to talk Mom into getting chickens - I haven't convinced her yet LOL
I miss having chickens. When I was growing up dad had chickens and turkeys it was great. the boys love eggs if they could have it they would eat them every day ;)
Awww! My grandmother had a farm with chickens growing up and I LOVED Spring when the new baby chicks hatched.

Wow, I know a few people who still have an outhouse, but they're all older couples... OK, I know you don't use it (and they still do!!!), but still, so crazy to think. GREAT idea of turning into a coop!
Fresh eggs sound wonderful! My grandparents have chickens and give us eggs on occasion, but they're out of town a lot on missionary trips and I have no idea what my dad does with them when he collects them... Maybe I should be asking...? =)
