Life is Cool: Chook Mahal

Grandpa Cool made Miss A a Chicken Coop for her birthday. And not just any chicken coop, a 'Chook Mahal'. It is amazing. Check it out....

The gift givers.... 

Excited little girls!

From the outside it looks like this...

Incase the chickens read this post:  THIS box is where you are to lay your eggs.....

They have a nice little door to get inside when it gets cold or wet...

They eat grain. They are super sonic laying chickens, (Ingham Hisex to be exact - quite an unfortunate breed name for a chicken) they shouldn't be fed too many vege scraps according to their instructions....

This is where they roost at night..... Mr Cool likes to check on 'The Ladies' at night with a torch to see that they are all cosy....

And these... are .... 'The Ladies'. 

They like to hang out together....

I thought I should let Miss A name them, given that they are HER chickens. I allowed this knowing that they could have been called, 'Brown Chicken', 'Speckled chicken' etc.  I also knew that Mr Cool should NOT have been allowed to name them given he was thinking: 'Butter', 'Biryani', 'Jalfrezi' etc.... To my relief, Miss A did a stunning job of naming her new pets...

The best part about owning chickens?

Thanks Grandma & Grandpa Cool, to quote Miss A, "This was the BEST present ever!"
