We spent all of Saturday, most of Sunday and most of Monday finishing out half the chicken run. Then the first batch of chickens went out! It's halfway finished, but the half that is done is done, done. They're a bit confused by rain. We had to drop them all IN the coop to stay … Continue reading Expect Pictures on Wednesday!

I had a chicken getting pecked, and they had to be separated into two enclosures because she was bleeding, one with the injured chicken and two bantams, one with the rest of the hooligans.

I'm upset, my husband's upset, but I can't change it. Her beak by the end was at a 90 degree angle with itself, and I couldn't keep enough water and soaked feed in her. ;_; She's buried under one of our flowering bushes.
Last night we built a chicken coop for our little chickies. And by 'we' I mean my husband did most of the work. There is still a run to construct around it, and there's a second coop for the bantams because they're getting picked on. Photo dump because I love this coop and how straightforward … Continue reading We Built a Chicken Coop!
