Sunday the DH and I got up really really really early and went to the swap meet/flea market. Braving the wind, cold, sleet and snow, we found 2 roosters and 19 laying hens!! I am so excited! We came home aroun 0900 and the sun was starting to part the clouds. We whipped up the pen, and got the coop finished in about 3 hours. They are some happy chickens!! Anyway, I named the roosters Jon and Brad...no idea why, but that is their name. Jon being the Barred Rock cross, (black/white specked) and Brad being the Buff Orpington cross (brown/red color). I am having fun with them! I go out about 3 times a day to feed them, and make sure they have water (they go through a lot!) and to make sure everyone is doing ok. I'm hoping after they get settled in the next few days they'll start laying. I know the roosters are doing their part, lol, so now I'm waiting on the girls...here are some pics!

Can't be free range eggs hon! I envy you, for having space to have your dogs & now chickens. I can't even have a bloody garden, cos we can't afford to have a villa (house) as the rents are hysterical (ave. $100,000p.a.)so it's apartment living for me. *sigh*
Gonna post your shirts this week hon..............sorry for the delay, but life is slowly returning back to 'normal'.
