Chicken "Kook" (aka coop)

Elliot LOVES our chickens. She wants to see them everyday, and still, after several months of having them, she gets so excited to go out and get the eggs. Just watching her joy and happiness, with the silly birds, makes their mess and expense worth it!!!

Every morning after we get up and get dressed she asks if we can go outside. Immediately after getting out side, she looks at me with the most precious, excited face and asks, "Can I get eggs, Momma?"

She'll run out to the coop, full speed, and check for the eggs. We've gotten her a little basket, which she uses to collect the four or five eggs we get everyday. After she has retrieved the eggs from the nesting box she'll run back to me and announce, "I got eggs from the chicken kook!" (pronounced just like coop but with a "k" sound at the end) It is so cute to hear her mispronounce the word everyday.

She really loves the chickens. I think they are the best pets a family could have for small children! ;o)
