Crazy Chicks

So for the last year Matia has been begging us to get some backyard chicks. For the last year our excuse has been we can't have them here they are farm animals. But then she found out many of our neighbors have them and they LOVE them so she asked Daddy one more time and guess what... he must have been in a crazy happy mood because he said "Sure, let's get you some chickens". See, Matia was meant to be born on a farm with lots and lots of wide open space, old beat up trucks, horses to ride, chickens to feed, and dogs to chase. But the poor girl is stuck here in the city with out the farm she dreams of. I guess she gets that from her momma. Anyway we went to the chicken farm and picked out 8 chicks. Thinking half of them will be roosters and we will have to get rid of the right. So our adventure begins with our little crazy chickens. After 1 month and 3 deaths we are getting the hang of it. Terry and Tia spent many hours out building our chicken coop. Talking about how they are going to love it and what things they would need to make this a good home for them. Matia loved every minute of it. She wakes up early to check on them and make sure they are clean and has clean food and water. I tell you this girl is dedicated to these chicks. She spends hours with them in the backyard giving them their sunshine time. The boys have their chicks and they love them but you can tell Matia's whole heart is in this farming life. So here we go.. Thanks to the neighbors who showed her the light of a chicks life!
