Garden growing & More Chickens!






















We are having a great time with the chickens and garden! We now have 26 baby chicks, 7 Hens and 2 Roosters! I made a easy transitional coop today for the biddies that are not ready for the big coop, but too big for the baby cage. There are 9 of these and they are all almost 4 weeks old. They seem to like this new space on the ground! The biddies in the hanging cage are 4 and 7 days old.
It is so much fun to watch them hatch, and begin to move around...
then to see them eat for the first time and oh boy how cute when they get their wings!

Chickens & More Chickens Oh My!!











We started with 6 Hens and 2 Roosters.
We have a mixed lot! One Roster is a Long Island Red and one is a Game mixed with Bantam. Our Hens are all different as well. We now have almost a dozen Baby Chicks and one Hen sitting on 19 eggs! Oh, and we have an incubator filled with over 30 eggs too! We have had great fun watching the eggs hatch and getting to know the chickens.
Here are a few pictures...
