Chicken pride

No, I am not taking pride in the fact that I AM a chicken....I am taking pride in the NEW chickens I own! Yup! I like eggs...that is an understatement. I buy the 5 dozen box when I go to the store. So last year I started thinking about getting a couple chickens to lay me some eggs...but there were so many things I didn't know (is it legal to have chickens in your yard in city limits? How messy are they? Are they hard to take care of? Is it cost effective? ETC.)



But I finally got all my questions answer and at 5:23 today I became the new proud owner of three wonderful hens.

I haven't named them yet....but maybe I shouldn't....I may eventually eat them some day. Nah, I'll name them. So it'll be a little while before they will actually lay any eggs, but I am excited. It's the first animal/pet that has ever been MINE. So yeah, I am way excited. I think I'm throwing a party in their name soon. We'll eat eggs and do the chicken-dance.
