This Blog Should be Renamed “Homesteading in Stilettos”

Because we’re getting chickens.

That’s right. Chickens. Here in the middle of Las Vegas. In our backyard.

Backyard chickens.

The coop should be arriving any day. Hammer, nails, sweat, friends, and paint, and it will be standing soon.

Today we checked out chickens!

This little guy really wanted to come home with me.

We also checked out bunnies and baby ducks, just for fun. Oh my goodness! Cuteness overload!

It’s funny that I was raised in farm country and never thought anything of it. But now that I live in the city with pace and pulse and neon, I find myself longing for quieter things. Too city for the country and too country for the city. But at least I’m where I belong when I’m home. 🙂

Do any of you guys have experience with animals? Did you enjoy them? Any advice for us?
