Rosie plus three!

It only took 5 months for us to get some more chicks, but hey, better late than never! Now that the three chicks are a little more than a month old, they have outgrown their small brooder and are now moved into the bigger brooder that Rosie was in. And Rosie...well she finally moved outside!

Dad and I finally finished the coop this weekend, and let me say...it looks pretty good! Of course my dad did the majority of the work, but I did help out!

Of course I kinda feel bad for Rosie because last night was her first night outside and of course it poured down rain all night. But I guess she has to get out there sometime! Of course dad did have to show her into the hen house last night because at first she just fell asleep on the ladder, but we made her a nesting box, so we had to show her into the coop where it was warm..and dry!

The chicks are much louder and messier than Rosie ever was, but I guess thats what happens when there is triple the trouble! The chicks have been fun though and they definitely have character! I will definitely try to post more but for now finishing school is my first priority.

A little this and a little that!

As Rosie has gotten bigger, she has outgrown her little brooder and is now in a big brooder that is currently in my room. Yes she still just walks around the house occasionally, but the majority of the time she's just bein' herself in her chicken home.  I hope that I can get more eggs soon so Rosie won't be so lonely! Right now there's a mirror in her box so she thinks there's another chicken in there, but I admit that's pretty sad!
All her baby feathers are now gone and she is no longer a feather ball, but rather a teenage Rhody! I think she's pretty but others have told me she is weird lookin'. I just think that havin' a chicken in the city is pretty awesome and something most people don't think could actually happen!
Well anyways, here's some pictures I've taken from my last post up to today.
