The chicks are growing by leaps and bo...Hi Amanda,<br /><br />The chicks are growing by leaps and bounds every day! They're very cute, and so fun to watch -- who knew chickens were so funny!?! ;-)<br /><br />We don't live on a farm, but in a "rural" subdivision that allows chickens to be kept in the backyard. I don't know about roosters, lol, but we won't be having any of those. <br /><br />A couple years ago, my husband talked about getting chickens, but nothing ever came of it. My oldest daughter (Julie) has been bugging him about getting a pet (specifically a puppy or a turtle, lol), but he kept telling her no . . . no more animals. Well, one night she comes down from her room asking to get chickens, and the next thing you know he's agreeing to get chickens. This was on a Saturday night . . . Tuesday we bought 4 chicks, and on the next Saturday we bought 2 more chicks. Their names are Ruby, Honey, Daisy, Miss Kay, Buttercup, and Chip (my son named that one, lol). <br /><br />Julie and her dad started building the coop on Saturday, and should be done by this Saturday . . . hopefully! :)<br /><br />Right now they're in an 18 gallon Rubbermaid container with a light to keep them warm, and a ventilated lid so that they won't escape. So far, they're a lot of fun. I do tend to lose track of time when I'm watching them. <br /><br />Now I just need to get more comfortable with picking them up and holding them -- I'm kinda "chicken" when it comes to that, LOL! :D<br /><br />Hope you're having a great week, Amanda!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06111576612128164411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7190766141645929002.post-1302460174709584422013-03-14T19:45:15.268-07:002013-03-14T19:45:15.268-07:00How cute, baby chicks?!

Just in time for Easter! ;-) No, I hadn't seen a RI Red before but went and Googled it after reading your comment, lol :-) You're right, they are ADORABLE!! I don't live in an area of RI that you would find such wild life, though do I spot deer and wild turkeys sometimes near the elementary school in my neighborhood. My cousin lives about 30 minutes away in a more rural area of RI. The drive to her house takes you past a chicken farm, a lama farm, and basically everyone and their mother has cows or horses in their yards. <br /><br />Do you guys live on a farm or did your daughter just randomly want to start raising chickens? I'm very curious, as I can't imagine my mom ever letting me get, not one but four baby chicks! I would probably want to be with them all day and never get anything else done, lol! :-)<br /><br />So happy you heard and enjoyed the new one from Francesca! I couldn't help myself and downloaded it :-) Such a beautiful song. Will keep an eye out for if/when you post about it.<br /><br />Praying you and yours have a wonderful weekend! <br />Blessings,<br />AmandaAmanda Stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16372107574684016349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7190766141645929002.post-25092397491784036542013-03-14T12:40:59.522-07:002013-03-14T12:40:59.522-07:00Hi Susan!

So good to see you, girl! :D
I just ...Hi Amanda! So good to see you, girl! :D<br /><br />I just LOVE what you said! What a great to look at it . . . "Our Lord, the Creator and Saviour of the world, allowed His heart to be captured in ink and spread upon the page for US." AMEN.<br /><br />Ah, you know me so well, lol. I have heard Francesca's new song, and I love it! As a matter of fact, I was hoping to post it here soon. :)<br /><br />I pray you're having a wonderful week. Oh, and this is something you might get a kick out of. My daughter got four baby chicks the other day, and one of them is a Rhode Island Red, which made me think of you, since that's where you're from. :D<br /><br />Have you ever seen a Rhode Island Red chick? They are ADORABLE! They're also a very pretty bird, when they're full grown. Anyway, I digress. Like I said, I thought you'd get a kick out of that. ;-)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06111576612128164411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7190766141645929002.post-73694878971334167302013-03-14T12:32:19.459-07:002013-03-14T12:32:19.459-07:00You're welcome, Pam!

Our Lord, the Creator and Saviour of the world, allowed His heart to be captured in ink and spread upon the page for US... tiny letters for our finite minds to understand, yet each one able to harness the breadth, length, depth and height of Almighty God... it's just so unfathomable... how GREAT is our God!!!<br /><br />Michelle, I was just thinking of you when I came across a new song by Francesca Battistelli, "Strangely Dim" - check it out when you get a chance, though, you've probably already heard it knowing you! ;-) But just in case, lol, I'll leave the link below :-)<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjmZ2v0niCI<br /><br />God bless you, dear friend!!<br />Amanda<br /><br />Amanda Stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16372107574684016349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7190766141645929002.post-34503524753086914632013-03-11T15:17:31.428-07:002013-03-11T15:17:31.428-07:00I really like this song.
