Chickens

Eric's dream is to have a farm.
And both of our boys love animals.
I am the odd one out.
But we found a compromise that makes everyone happy.
Chickens!
That's right.
Eric gets his farm animal.
The boys get their animal to raise and care for.
I will get fresh eggs in a few months.

We got them as chicks.
The first four we named
Chewbacca,
Queen Amidala,
Mr. President,
and
Geronimo.

They lived in a box in the garage

until they got big enough 

to go out

into the chicken coop

that Eric built for them.

And then the boys in my life 

all decided we needed two more.

So Elvis and Oreo joined the flock.

These boys take good care of their chickens.
