Chick adoption Day, April 13, 2010






















It's been an exciting day, and one we'll look back on often as one of the silliest, craziest, most exciting, hair brained idea that any of us have had in a long time. It was the culmination of a year of daydreaming, joking, researching, yearning, planning, and finally implementing an idea hatched in our brains by one Barbara Kingsolver and her book "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle".

We adopted 3 baby chickens. The plan is to get 6, one per child with another baby on the way within a year, but we left Houle's, the feedstore in Stillwater, MN, with just three. A black and white barred rock, a Buff Orpington, and a Golden Wyandotte. Three girls, all ridiculously cute and irresistable.
