Chicken update

Our chickens have grown alot in the last few weeks!  They also have a new home!  Jeff is so handy.  He built a chicken "tractor" coop for them!  It is amazing and they are really enjoying their chicken palace.  :)

My favorite part of it is the ramp.  It's so cute.  The chickens are doing great getting up and down it also.  They can also get up on their roost!  I also like that it has two doors so I can sweep out the top house and keep it sparkling clean.  Just kidding.  It will never be totally clean again.  haha  But it works great and I have begun fertilizing my garden.

Nesting boxes!

Tall girl!

She wanted to paint so bad, even when we were just talking about it.  I thought it would last maybe a minute, but she probably painted 30 minutes?  Maybe an hour? 

She was sooooo happy to paint!

Installing the roof.

Chicken wire and solar screen completed! 

Sweeping out the tractor

He's a good helper.

Ta-da!  Chicken tractor.  Thanks, Jeff for building it!

Chickens!

We brought home four baby chicks last week.  They are living in a box in the barn right now until the chicken palace gets finished.  We sort of put the chickens before the coop!  haha  Anyway, my hope is that we will have fresh eggs in about 18 weeks.  That seems like a long time, but hopefully it will be worth it and we will have fun with them along the way.
