However, we realize the chickens are more "therapy pets" to us than anything else :) They really calm everyone down, and all the kids enjoy taking care of them. Chickens really make great pets!
When we first got them they were so tiny but within a couple days they grew out of their box! We got one Rhode Island Red, two Barred Rocks, and one California White. Their names are Ginger, Pepper, Licorice, and Lemon. Lemon is quite a character! Here is a pic of Rosie holding Lemon, who climbed right into her lap!
The boys (and Rosie too!) have recently gotten into Rubik's cubes and they are going cube crazy! I seriously never knew there were so many different kinds. They really enjoy these challenges every day and the cubes are both theraputic and inspiring to them- and math based- we use them as a big part of our schooling!
And Rowan has designed his own puzzle based on a Rubik's cube.
More cubes! And Rowan holding one of the Barred Rocks
Rosie squealing with delight as chickens climb all over her!
Happy Learning!!
