i know its been a while since we got our chickens, but we’ve been busy! we got 9 white (corporate) chickens, at about 10 weeks old. the coop is finished and the chicken yard established. they grew big fast – went through way too much feed! now we worry about them escaping the chicken yard cause they are more adventurous. dogs almost got a taste of live chicken but luckily i put a stop to it…
we gave them names like original recipe, extra crispy, pot pie, roast, stew, etc… i know its mean! we haven’t gotten any eggs yet – i suspect it’ll be another month before those start appearing.

i thought i would post another pic of my garden so far. the tomatoes are doing good, i have a few baby tomatoes. the squash and zuchini have taken off and now have big yellow blossoms. my cucumbers have sprouted and are growing well, and a mystery potato plant just appeared! i think it was from the compost pile…
anyways, the ceyenne peppers aren’t so happy – i’m going to replace them with leeks and the carrots sprouted some but don’t seem to be growing very well so i won’t be planting carrots again.
all in all, the garden is coming along great. hows yours?

wooohooo! i am excited. we are 95% done with building the new coop and today after work my mom is bringing me 4 chickens. they will be the ordinary white chickens (leghorn?) so in case we screw up and they die, we won’t feel as bad…. but i have high hopes! i’ll be posting pictures of the coop with chickens this weekend on my blog! http://seagrass2007.blogspot.com/
