New Hen House

The girls are all cozy in their new home. I decided to move the Angora goats down near the Cashmeres and move the chickens closer to the house. They now go through a small door and the roost and laying box are inside the garage. It'll be so much easier to collect eggs and keep it nice and tidy!

First Brood

I guess we are not awaiting the chickens from Joe so patiently. Amy and Sara wanted them sooner, so we now have 4 white ones which we picked up at the farmers' market. Hopefully the others will be arriving on Easter.

Chickens are Coming

Yes! My brother, Joe is donating 6 chickens. They will be free-range, but I am thinking of starting them out in the goat pen with nest boxes and roosts in the shelter. Then I can open the gate during the day to let them (and the goats) graze. Or make a "chicken door" in the back of the shelter for the days that I want to keep the goats in.

I am ready for some FRESH eggs!
