Chicken Coop

The Easter Bunny left lots of baby chicks for Hayden, Gracie and Colton this year.  Well, these baby chicks are all grown up and at least one of them is now laying eggs!  You should have heard Hayden's squeal when Mark showed her the first egg.  I think it was a surprise to Mark too. 

Mark decided that we needed a bigger coop, so that is what he did this weekend.  He took their playhouse and made it into a coop.  It is a fancy chicken coop and perfect for the girls.  Pop came and helped him also.  It turned out to be an all day job in the heat, but it was all worth it!

Hayden loves to check for eggs every day.  She gets so excited every time she finds one.  Hayden is officially in the chicken business!!!  However, she won't let us eat any off the eggs, so I have tricked her today and made one of her favorite things deviled eggs!  But we have to eat some of them or give them away!  We are running out of room in the refrigerator.  We are thinking about putting some in an incubator also!

By the way Mimi and Pop have purchased a bigger playhouse for our sweet girls, and it will have a front porch, two rooms and all kinds of other upgrades. They will be so excited when they see it all come together. Thank you so much Mimi and Pop...we all love you very much and appreciate every thing you help us do!
