We picked up 9 new chicks today. We ordered 60 chicks thru our feedstore but they are just a touch flaky 
& they haven't been calling us to let us know when the chicks are there. So today we picked up 9 & hopefully we will actually get the rest of our order. We got 6 Aracauna & 3 sexlink today, all pullets. If they survive The Little Man's love & attention 
, we will add them to our laying hen flock.
We also bought a new table & chairs. They were on sale & I had been looking for a while. I'm very happy with their looks, I hope they will stand up to the test of time (& 4 kids).
We got 2 benches & 2 chairs. We can fit more kids on the benches without taking up as much room. Everybody seems to like them so far 
.
So now we have 2 goats & 9 chicks in our kitchen. My children will be able to answer truthfully "Yes, I WAS raised in a barn!"
Blessings.
I like the table. We made a similar decision for our back patio. We had looked at tables and chair sets but they were just not going to work -- either too expensive or didn't sit enough people. So we found a pattern online for a picnic table and my hubby built it. We can get 4 people on each side comfortably and then add a chair at each end and we can sit 10. We use it almost every day in the summer.
ReplyDeleteOooh...pretty furniture--I'm hoping for benches someday, too.
ReplyDeleteYou must have a big coop? Would love to see pix...;) We have a few Araucanas coming 6/15.
Goats and chickens in the kitchen! It must be a big one (or cozy, at least). You would make a great Yooper! :)
