Here is my blog about our chicken adventures. We started to look into getting chickens about 2-3 yrs ago, but never really sat down and planned things out. There was always something else that needed to be done.
This year we set aside a budget for the coop and found some plans online and got to work!
This will also be an "Urban" coop since we are in the heart of the city.

OUR CHICKENS HAVE ARRIVED!!!

We got the call today that our chickens have arrived in the mail!  We ordered our chicks together with a few other people to help with the shipping costs so there were 35 in the box.  We got them from
MY PET CHICKEN


They are 1-2 day old chicks and all were alive when our friend Elena opened the box...whew!
After work, my daughter Chloe' and I went to pick them up.  They were all in the brooder waiting.  We got 1st pick so it was a little tough to decide since they are all soooooo adorable! 


We got our little chicks all loaded up in the car and headed home.  At home we set up our own brooder for them.  Right now they will be in a plastic tub on paper towels until they are bigger.
