How
quickly they grow. Our girls are nearly
full grown and will be laying eggs here in a few months. We just converted them from chick mash to
laying pellets a few weeks ago. At first
they were not impressed with those pellets.
We mixed them with the mash for awhile until they came around.
We
continue to give them plenty of time outside the coop, although lately it
hasn't been as much as they were getting before school started back up. They seem to be fine with it but I do love to
watch when my daughters go out and greet them every evening and get them fresh
water and food. The chickens are so
excited to see them and mine loves to jump into the first available lap for
some much needed attention.
There
is no doubt in my mind that these future eggs will be golden. They certainly won't be economy eggs. I could get eggs at the store for much less
than these eggs are costing us but it doesn't matter at all. These chickens have a much higher value to us
than the eggs they will produce.
They
are our pets and our little feathered friends and we love them dearly. What they have given us in joy and
entertainment alone is immeasurable. The
lessons we have learned in building the coop and caring for them is a huge
bonus. They give back to us far more
than what I think we have given them. I
hope we will always have chickens in our little backyard.
They are such fun!
