Chicken Casita

I am so excited! We have been talking about getting chickens for so long and we've finally done it.

Two big boxes arrived during the week and Paul and I spent Saturday morning putting together the chicken casita (it's too cute to be called a coop). It is really well made and was easy to assemble. It has a slide-out drawer under the perches so cleaning will be a breeze. The nest box has a lift-up lid that makes for easy egg collecting.

Now all we need are the chickens. We've ordered the breed called "Easter Eggers" and they lay blue and green eggs -- and sometimes even pink. We're getting 3 of them and Paul has picked names: Kitty, Doggy, and Fishy. They're scheduled to arrive May 26th as one-day-old chicks. I'll take a couple days off work and Roxanne said she would spend the night with me and help take care of them when they first arrive. We're going to have a great time!
