1… 2… 3… PUSH!!!

After having the chickens for a while I found out they don’t like to push on anything… AT ALL! But just a couple weeks ago when I left the gate closed but not latched and went to pick up Omelette and after I put her down I was throwing leaves that they like to her. But the other chickens weren’t coming so I looked to see what they were doing and they pushed the gate open!

Hand drinking

The chickens wont drink out of there water tube thing. BUT! Just recently was pushing the nobs and they were starting to copy me and were drinking out of it! But when diggey saw the water on my hand she just walked away not caring but then rosey saw and started drinking out of my hand and then diggey saw and came over hurry and pushed her out of the way and started drinking (it feels weird because their waddles rub against my hand). So now they know that the tube gives water again and that they like to drink out of my hands. It is very cute when they do it too.

CHICKS!

One day I was at home doing school hen Mom came in and said you have to finish school if you want a prize! (I am home schooled so she is my teacher, we also have been building a coop to get chickens so we have been waiting) I came running over to my sister saying that we would get a prize and we were wondering what it was. (we didn’t think it would be chicks) Eventually dad came home with a box. Dad told us to come over and listen to the box, and we heard chicks!!! We were very excited and we put them in the bathtub for them to stay until the coop is done.
