Got chicks??

Ok...so lets rewind this story to this time last year when Shan randomly came home with 20 baby chick...yes you read that right TWENTY! We live in a house with a strict HOA and no backyard so for the next few weeks the chicks sat in a box in the garage...I was a little mad and the garage was A LOT of stinky! So he then had this clever idea to build a chicken coop out at my parents so he could keep all the chicks....so after that he decided that 20 wasn't enough and he got MORE! I think this whole chicken thing is stupid and gross but whatever....its just his thing I guess. So anyway about 4 weeks ago he asked me if he could buy an incubator for $120 and I being the sweetheart that I am, said no way! So the next day where do I find Shan?? At Home Depot buying all the supplies to make his own incubator...again I was bugged because I really didnt think this thing was going to work at all! Well I'm out here in the blogging world...eating some crow...cause it did work! AHH! They're hatching and its not stopping haha. So if anyone wants a chick you know where to find them! Andie and Brooke just think its the coolest thing ever! And Andie keeps saying "I love you so much daddy! Thanks for making us chickens!!" haha

This was yesterday you could see the eggs rocking and hear chirping...it was the weirdest thing
We happened to be out in the garage when this little baby entered our world...they are so not cute when they first come out! But I guess we probably aren't either

Pretty soon you are gonna have your own little chicken farm and we are all gonna be coming over to eat. hahaha That's so funny! I actually kinda like the idea.

That is so fun! These are memories the girls will have forever. I want to get Harlo a chick so bad, but when it grew into a chicken I wouldn't know what to do with it.. haha maybe Shan will just take it back!

They do look a little gross. And why do some have x's and other's o's?

Kellie said...

They're cute now but I still don't like them! Anne, there are x's and o's because Shan had to turn them twice a day so that way he could keep track of rotating them
