Ever since we arrived in Portugal I've been eager to get some chickens. Day to day there's usually lots to do around the house and lately I haven't given more than a wishful thought to the whole idea. Well my husband, who never settles for me telling him I don't want anything, went out and got me some chickens for my birthday! I was so surprised and excited- we spent the day making some old pens in the back into a coop area. They have the whole yard to roam during the day and a safe, dry place to be penned up for the nights. Their nesting boxes are in what many years ago would have been a bathroom! They don't seem to mind, they're already down to the business of egg laying. Thank you to my sweet husband- I love them!
