How many pictures can one person possibly take of 6 chickens in one week? Haha, I don't know the answer, but I'm pretty sure I must be very close to the record!
On Monday a week ago we finally welcomed our new members of our family - Ivar the rooster, Märta-Hara the hen and the four chicks Chleo, Chica, James (who is a girl) and Tony Hawk! The kids have absolutely loved having them here - and actually so have I! It surprised me how cozy it is to have chicken walking around. The first few days we didn't do much else but chase them back to our property. They disappeared the whole time and we would find them in the woods, down by the lake or by the neighbor's house. Now they seem to know where they are allowed to go and we don't freak out as much if we don't see them right away. They usually show up in a few minutes.
Märta-Hara has layed 5 eggs so far and Ivar, who always got chased away from the hens where he lived before, is in his heyday making sure that there are more eggs to come (!) What the kids didn't know about the birds and the bees so far they are sure to learn from Ivar...

Härliga bilder - och kul att ni alla gillar Ivar och de andra. Det är roliga djur, med olika personligheter!
