The New Girls - chickens

Super excited!!! We picked up our 30 Ostrolope chickens last night!!! They were pretty scared.  I hope they are all still alive this morning after spending the night in the coop w/ the 6 hens we have. eek!

Here are a couple pics:

Little E helped carry a box of 10 wk old chicks to the coop. What a strong boy! :)

This is fun stuff! For me at least.  This means lots and lots of eggs to sell this summer!

Frugal Repurpose!

Ok, so a few years ago, a family member gave us a metal Futon bed.  They didn't have the 'bed cushion' to go with it though, and we never found a place for the bed anywhere in our tiny home. So, it lived in our garage.  We looked into buying a cushion for it, but they were expensive!!!  So, we now have TWO gate doors for our Chicken fence. :) Hubby hung the second section yesterday and it looks great!  We'll cover these w/ chicken wire so the young birds can't escape their LARGE fenced area.  Getting the 30 hens next week! Very exciting!
