Chicken page added

I added a "My Chickens" page to the website. We have had the chicks for almost a month and they sure have grown very quickly! I hope the weather is warm enough this weekend and I can introduce them to the great outdoors ... I bet that will be quite the adventure! They are so cautious of everything and they still haven't gotten used to even me! I have to find a bigger feeder and waterer - they eat and drink constant and I fill/change their feeders about 4 times a day and I only have 4 chicks. They are indoors and I clean out the cage at least once a day with fresh pine shavings and sweep the floor quite a bit - ya know, they aren't that smelly at all. I figured it would be obnoxious, but maybe because I clean it up so much and I know not to let the bedding get wet. We almost have "The Hen Pen" complete which is their outdoor mobile cage which I intend on moving around the yard so they can forage for fresh delights every day.

The sign routered and the chick images were woodburned - I will post pictures of the finished housing unit as soon as it is completed.
