♫ "Spring, Spring, Spring" ♫

If you've ever seen the musical "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" you hopefully remember that song.
The chicks really like Anna Mary. She carries them around all the time.
Here at the Flaming backyard we've been watching our little chicks grow for a month now. They are actually about 6-7 wks. old, and are changing so quickly. Scroll down for pics of the younger days. :)

It's amazing what you can build with scrap wood!

Jarrod and I have been working on the coop as often as we can, but the crazy Kansas weather has slowed us down- April has brought us 3 snowstorms!! yuck. But, we'll keep posting more pics as we make progress. The coop will eventually be painted red with white trim, and may even have a cute little flower box under the window.

Hey guys! The coop looks great so far! I love scrap wood, too! Anna Mary is so adorable! I have to admit, though, even though I think baby chickens are very cute, I think they loose their cuteness very fast, blahh. And, don't they stink?!!! I showed Laura this post and the one of the chics and she wanted to know what their poop looked like. (Oh, the mind of a child!) Go figure!

They do grow sooo fast but were cute when they were babies! We have often talked about getting chickens but here in the south...chickens lay eggs, and snakes like eggs...I would rather not entice a snake into my yard! YIKES!

Oh yeah, we love Seven Brides for Seven Brothers! Such a classic! Now Steph and I are going to have to watch it this weekend! :-)
