Baby Peeps!

One of Matt's winter projects has been building a chicken coop so that we could raise a few egg layers. The purpose of having them isn't so much to supply us with eggs, we just thought the girls would enjoy watching them grow and helping to take care of them. Matt brought them home about a week ago on the day that they were hatched and it is amazing how quickly they have grown! They are living in our garage for a few weeks until they are a bit bigger and can handle moving outside into the cold, so the girls have lots of opportunites to check on them.
I asked Noelle to show me how much she likes the baby peeps, she has been waiting for this day for weeks!





Noelle loves to pet them, Addison loves watching them but wants nothing to do with touching them! It is so fun for mommy and daddy too, to see them so excited about their new pets! :)
