Swedish Flower Hens - Our Girls

Photo shoot with our photogenic girls

It's A Good Day.

It was a good day to have a good day! Enjoyed a few hours working on the chicken coop roof, loving on our chickens and enjoying strawberry lemonade.

Our Girls.

Our Swedish Flower Hens came to home with us a week ago. We've been keeping them in the coop so they can get acclimated. Today, we let them out in the chicken yard for the first time. They seemed to LOVE it! Griffin is so good with them. I'm officially a chicken mama.

Griffin & The Girls.

He's so good with them!

Our Girls ~ Swedish Flower Hens

Introducing the newest members of the Glave family!! Our girls came to live at our home today ~ Hyacinthe, Poppy, Orchid and Petunia. They are Swedish Flower Hens, so we chose flower names! Very excited this adventure has begun!! Thanks to our friend Sarah for incubating, hatching and taking such good care of them! We are so grateful!!

Adding A Roof.

We are adding a roof to the chicken coop area today!

The Egg Plant.

If I were a Swedish Flower Hen, I would enjoy living here!! We are almost ready to bring our girls home ~ maybe by next weekend!!

Finishing Up The Chicken Coop!

Michael has been working tirelessly to put 'The Egg Plant' in place and he began working on fencing. Once we are finished with the fencing, adding chicken wire and a roof ~ our girls can come home!!

The Egg Plant ~ Our Chicken Coop

Welcome to 'The Egg Plant', y'all. This is where our beautiful Swedish Flower Hens will live very soon! It was definitely a family affair turning the unpainted chicken coop into a sweet new home for our chickens!

Yes. To. Chickens.

Soooo ~ after saying NO to chickens for 3 years I told Mike the only way I would get chickens is if he would agree for me to paint the coop purple and calling it the Egg Plant. He agreed. Sarah one of our best friends, said she would incubate fertile eggs that would hatch out beautiful chicks. This is a photograph of the before/after.

Learning By Doing

Some things do not require a book to be taught. Some things are best learned through hand's on experience.
