If you’ve been following me the last few weeks then you know I’ve been working on a chicken coop for my four chicks. The coop is coming along nicely, and my girls are pretty happy mother cluckers living in the main room of the house (at least for another week).
They are the stars of the show – loved by all, especially Frank, the big dog. He literally drools while he watches them play keep away, and flutter about. Eyes on that guy at all times.
Things have been going so well with the first feathered crew that this Artful Homemaker decided to go for the gold… yolks, that is!
We decided to increase our flock. Not by two more chicks, cause that’s too easy. Not by three more, or even four more baby birds, but no less than five more chicks have found their way into our hearts and home. And boy am I excited for these babies! Observe the cuteness below…

Some might think it’s a little crazy to add five more living, breathing, mess making creatures to a household already containing 4 humans, 2 dogs, a homestead cat, and four hens on a very small city plot. But.. I’m sure it’ll be fine.
Yeah, it should be fine. The following time lapse video assures me that it’s gonna be all good. God willing it will be good.
Now to finish that coop!
