Leaving the Coop

The chicks are finally big enough to go to their respective homes. Here’s a proud new parent, my friend Raven, and one of her soon-to-be hens. Raven and husband are yoga instructors and live in a cool apartment building with a large backyard garden–and now a fabulous chicken house. Raven confessed they spent $700 building the coop (it looks just like a mini-farmhouse). Whoa, don’t tell my chickens. My neighbor’s taking 4, and a few other people are going to take groups of three. To be honest, I can’t wait to have my living room back. And yes, it’s starting to smell a little barnyard…what’s next–lambs in the kitchen?
