Countdown to Chickens

It's snowing pretty hard outside-- something about the bleakness of winter always makes me think of spring, warm weather, green grass, blue sky, and warm weather projects. Today I took the plunge and ordered chickens-- they will arrive from the hatchery in April. That means we have a little over four months to prepare for them, which includes buying the necessary supplies and building them a secure place to live. Yes, I could have bought them from a feed store, but this way I have a set deadline on when they will arrive (and I'm a girl who likes deadlines).

I loved this clip from the Muppet Movie. Our chickens won't be this talented or flashy, but I'm hoping this new project will be fun!
