New Coop!
My husband has started the new chicken coop!!!
I am very very excited and hope it will be finished this weekend :)
The chickens are going to LOVE it. The babies in the basement will finally get to be outside!!
Pictures to come...
We are down to 28 chickens now. We had 30 but gave 2 Buff Orp Roos away as we don't need them.
Last week our BR and 2 Wellies began to lay which is super exciting!! We now have 7 laying hens. More to begin soon!
2nd coop!
We are about half way finished with the 2nd coop and the first one isn't even completely done yet!!!
We had to build another one though because Sunday we are picking up BIG Welsummers!!! They are gorgeous! and...they are laying!!!!! Yummmm....
We have CHICKENS!!!!
Here are out fist actual chickens :D We got these beautiful birds from a member of Backyard Chickens.
We have 3 Barred Rock Pullets. 1 Barred Rock Cockeral and 2 Welsummer Pullets. BEAUTIFUL!
The kids just loved them and we had to MAKE them get OUT of the cage to come inside! Maybe once they settle down a bit we will get pics of the kids holding the chicks :)
Out they come!
Savannah deciding whether or not she wants in...
Justice is awe.
I am in LOVE with the Welsummers...
Savannah decides in with chicks is a good idea...now...we can't get them OUT!
Barred Rock.
Marcus watching it all from the sunroom! :)
Another Barred Rock. Gorgeous pattern!
Still watching and still happy :)
Still in .... just before we pick them up and make them leave the poor chickies outside all alone ;)
We reminded them that they are OUR chickies and we can see them tomorrow...and the next day...and the next day...
:D
This is the coop that Pat built.
Here is the coop in all its glory! I think Patrick did a FABULOUS job! He built the whole thing by himself! I helped...hold this...stand here...paint...you know ;) but we did it! and it is perfect! Justice helped paint too of course. We still have some painting to do and trim work.
Here are the pics!
