Chicken pictures

Okay, the chickens are still alive after 2 nights, so that's a good sign. Anyway, here's the chickens.

CHICKENS!!!

That's right, we got our new chickens on Wednesday. Unfortunately, our dog broke in sometime the next morning. When I saw her sitting in the coop, I ran outside only to find two chickens missing, one whole dead chicken, and one 3/4 of a chicken. That same day, while I was at a friend's house, my dad bought new METAL wire and installed that over our other wire, AND bought four new Rhode Island Red chickens. The coop survived two hours with Hannah (the insane dog), and she has learned not to bother the coop... I hope. The chickens are still alive as I type this, and I'm pretty sure that Hannah is sleeping. The little birds are funny. They refuse to do things alone, and always stay in a group, usually looking like a little cheeping mass of fuzz. If all goes well, we will be getting eggs in just a few months. Will post pics as soon as possible.

This is scary

Just watch, and you'll see what I mean.

Coop pictures

Coop complete!

Okay, I should have posted this earlier, but I was busy as a Roman guard at the vacation Bible school. Anyway, we finally finished our chicken coop, and we didn't use the original design at all. We basically built it from pictures that I got from a chicken forum (yes, those exist). I'll post pictures as soon as possible. All we need are a feeder, waterer, and chickens.

Is it just me, or does the Obama administration have really bad timing?

Guess what? The minimum wage goes up this Friday to around $7, right in the middle of the worst economic downturn since the Depression. Now, of all times, they decide to make it more expensive to hire people. What's next? Energy taxes? Oh wait, they're trying to pass that already. When will it end?!?!?!?! Now all we need is a gigantic program with a fancy title along the lines of the New Deal. It seems like the government is bent on ruining the economy. Again.
