one girl's chicken is another girl's horse

Yippee for me! I now only have to clean up after the chicks once a week!!! Currently I have been doing it twice a day. The chicks/chickens are snuggled up in their coop right now. I named alot of them too! As you may know, 8XnoY is not only about the chicks, it is also about baking products and selling them. So, I (all by myself) tried out a gingerbread recipe today. It is called Grandma's Gingerbread which was a huge success. (I secretly ate a lot of the batter!)

We got a logo for Gourmet Girls thanks to a "fairy godmother" with a history in the advertising business. Gourmet Girls is part of the 8 x no y business that sells food. Doesn't it look great!?

Coop

Our coop finally came! The chickens will have such a great time in it, we just need a fence. Sometime soon we are going to put them outside. I wonder how big they will be in one more week?In september they will hopefully start to lay eggs and then we can sell them! Some of the chickens will even lay blue and green eggs. Happy Easter (almost)!

Free!!

My mom and I decided to let the chicks free in our garage for a while. So, we went out and bought some deer fencing which we hung in our garage as a makeshift pen. As soon as they were let out of their brooders, they huddled in the center of the garage! Slowly as they calmed down, the chicks seemed to like tormenting my sister! One Wyandotte walked up to her and just stared. My sister did not now what to think! Suddenly the Wyandotte flew up, and flapped his wings in her face! Immediately my sister started crying as the rest of my family was laughing.

Then, some of the Rhode Island Reds thought that my other sister was a roost! First my sister picked on up and set in on her arm. Then another one hopped over and jumped on her arm. The Rhode Island Reds all kept jumping on her arms until they fell asleep while still sitting on her!

Luckily the coop is coming on Wednesday, and then all...most of this chaos will be over.
