We moved our big chicks outside. They pretty much look like smallish chickens now. We borrowed a chicken hutch from my Dad and because of the dog and cats we needed to make a chicken run too. We used an old Dog run that was left by the previous owners of our house. We still need to put a top on, but for now they don't want to leave the hutch anyway so that will need to be added on a different weekend. Mike and I were pretty proud of ourselves and how it turned out :-) I forgot to mention that My Dad brought me two more chicks the other day so that makes 6 hens now. They are small and fluffy so I still have them in the garage with the heat lamp until they get their feathers in. I hope this new adventure is a positive one.
There are two red hens in there too, but they blen in with the red wood :-)
That is so cool! I can't believe you did it all for virtually no cost. It looks like you have a good set up there.
ReplyDeleteImpressive! Boston is convinced we are going to do this as well. So far I am NOT so convinced, but we'll see!
