I have been learning more and more about natural foods and wanting to implement them into my families diet. The more I learn about all of this processed food that we are putting into our bodies scares me! One of those is eggs. I have a few friends that have started raising chickens to get their own eggs, so I decided to give it a shot! We picked out 7 chickens and together and we named them. Hailey named hers Hazel; Carter named two Jack and Mack; I named mine Henny Penny; Bryan named the rest Popeye, KFC and Chester.
When they were just a few days old some of them got "butt paste" so this is Bryan helping one out :) Who knew we would be wiping chicken bums :)
I couldn't believe how fast they grew. I would come check on them every couple hours, and you could literally see that they had grown just in a couple hours.

We kept them in the basement for a couple weeks and then moved them to the shop outside.This was their first time outside exploring on the grass and they loved it.

Carter-After!!!
For some reason they always poop on Carter!
They have already tripled in size since I took these pictures! This weekend we will be building a chicken coop. I can't wait until this Fall when we will get yummy organic eggs!
