We have chickens

We have chickens. At least, I think they're chickens. Maybe they're roosters. Time will tell!

Lucy and Alice came to live with us last Sunday.
My SIL, Melissa, got the chickens for her kiddos for Easter but as they began to grow she decided she needed to find a new home for them.

We borrowed a little cage for the chickens from our neighbors, The Johnsons. Virgil set it up in the backyard.And Stephen gathered some straw for bedding.
Melissa thought they were Cornish Game Hens.

Mr. Johnson is not sure he agrees.... The doggies? They think they might be FOOD!!

Aaaaaawwww! I had to look twice when I saw their colors. Good luck! I hope at least one is a female so you can get eggs. :o)

Hope you're having a good weekend. Brrrr, it's cold again here!

Okay...it's already been stated that they are blue and green.... :) I thought they only did that in the part of the world where I live. Hope y'all have fun with them.
