Peep Peep Peep

We brought home five baby chicks on Saturday May 23rd. Jerod began building the coop Saturday afternoon. The chicks won't be able to move in for a couple more weeks, but the coop is looking beautiful. Here are some pics of what's happening on the Lea Urban Farm. This post is very late because Jerod had most of the pictures of the coop being built on his camera and didn't get them to me for a while. Enjoy!




Anyone home??

This is either Rosa or Izzabella (yes, it's spelled wrong on purpose)



Twitchy, Bossy, Rolley Polley, Rosa and Izzabella

They actually look so different now than from this photo. They are getting their feathers already. I'll post those later.

  1. It still needs the nesting area on the "house" end of the coop. That should be done this weekend... should.
