The Lovely Ladies

So if you checked out yesterday's blog you got to see the makings of a chicken coop!  

Today you get to see the finished product!! 

 The finishing touches . . . 

This is how we will get the eggs . . . 

Putting in the chicken feed . . . they will be in this coop for a week

without being let out.  This will help them get to know where their

home is.  Then, since we will let them free range during the day, at 

night they will know where to come for "bed time".

Inside the Hen House . . . Skyler did such a great job!

Yesterday we picked up our chickens!  

Allow me to introduce you to our ladies:

 The ride home!  I was so impressed at how calm they all were.  

Much more calm than our little yorkie puppy!  I guess I thought they

would be flapping around going crazy because they were caged up in

the back of the truck, but no . . . they were great!

Meet Tamar . . .

Meet Rahab . . . 

 Meet Ruth . . .

Meet Bathsheba . . .

Meet Mary . . . 

Meet Noah's Wife . . . Originally, we had only planned to get five chickens, and I wanted to name them after the 5 women in Jesus' lineage (from the Gospels).  When we told our friend (and mentor), Houston, He said "What about Noah's Wife?"  I asked what her name was . . . he said "Noah's Wife."  Apparently, we don't really know her name, but technically she would be another woman in Jesus' lineage.  Since we ended up getting six hens, we thought Noah's Wife was an appropriate name for this lady.  She is the only one who is a year old.  All the others are 5 months!

Welcome Home!! Our Lovely Ladies!

What do you think?

"Hey! Where are the rest of our friends?"

"Ummmm . . . hello out there . . . are you bringing the others?"

 

"Hey, this place looks pretty nice!"

"I agree, it will be perfect for laying our eggs"

"Yea! Everyone is together again!"

"What lovely windows!"

"Yes, the view is nice!"

"Alright, enough with the view.  I'm hungry, let's eat!"

I hope you have enjoyed getting to see our hens and their new home!!

Have a very blessed Sunday!! 

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing!"

 - Luke 13:34

Jesus desperately wants us to come to Him! 

He will take care of us.  We can find comfort, shelter, and joy in Him alone. 

The question is . . . are you willing?
