Yellow

First of all thanks for coming to visit, I do love visitors. When asked if I wanted to again participate in another blog hop, I of course said yes, and then the Idea of a colour theme came up, that was all good and then the colour was suggested YELLOW. OMG would have to be my least favourite colour, and while looking for yellow for the past few weeks, it would appear that I don't wear yellow, I don;t scrap yellow and I don't really have anything yellow. But going through my pics I remembered I did have something yellow.

Nearly 6 mths ago I finally got to get chickens!! I had to wait 10 years lol. I'm know I am pretty sad, every since I was little I and use to spend a bit of time with My Nan, and she had soooo many chickens, along with ducks and dreaded geese (insert big shiver) I don't like geese. But I always wanted to have my own free range eggs. After we brought out new property with a couple of acres, quite a change from our suburban yard. My hubby finally agreed to to let me have chickens. Now came the task of finding time to make them a house and yard. We had a cubby house that was no longer used with my little fella 6 and not into cubby houses, that was to become the coop. So for my birthday this year I requested that My lil brother and hubby with a little help from my brother in law,  to build me a chicken yard. It looks like this....


They are very cleaver aren't they, we have since built another yard onto it as well, more space for them to roam.

These are our little chicks and mother that where given to us, We still have all of them including 3 roosters (lovely at 4:30, let me tell you!!! My little fella just adores them all and cuddles and picks them up everyday, including the roosters. He is now waiting patiently for one to go broody to catch babies chicks for the first time.

I mean come on how cute are they little YELLOW fluffy balls of cute.
 
And with all the chicks come of course the good part, The eggs, record today of 8 eggs collected in the one day. We have an inudation of eggs at the moment and have to have egg night once a week, Could think of worse for tea!
 
 
and before I go just a little page of the new pets that I did a while ago, Karen's Funny Farm!
 
Well thanks for visiting as I am first on the list here is where you are headed from here.
 
Enjoy the hop I will follow you around to see what the girls have put together!!

  1. Hi Karen, I used to spend time with my Pa and all his chooks etc. now my kids do the same with my mum. They do like to go check for eggs and feed them whenever we're are there. I be your kids enjoy having their own and all those eggs would be a huge bonus. Well done to your builders, are you ever bothered by foxes? Mum has lost some to a fox. Lovely layout, your son looks very happy there. cheers. :)
