Kyle had a this week off and had collected a bunch of scrap wood. So this is what he built today, pretty cool huh? A chicken tractor is basically a coop and outdoor pen in one that you can move around the yard...this one is now beside the house by the rhubarb.
These birds were getting a little large and definitely needed to go outside. We have one more box of smaller chicks that need some more feathers to be able to be outside overnight, but these ones are happy now!
And such fun to watch :)
Chickens ARE fun to watch! Good job on the chicken tractor, Kyle. Does this mean that the chickens are staying at your house permanently?
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly Amy! Welcome to the Eberhart Farm! You did good Kyle. You didn't get any roosters did you? Have to harvest any of those as soon as they're big enough; very noisy. Very.
ReplyDeleteNot sure, to all those questions...the chickens needed to get out of the garage. There isn't a good outside place at Z's farm, but they are too big to live inside anymore. We are still unsure of the sex of any of them, but they are already getting names like 'Fried' and 'Bbq' especially one who likes to bite me every time I have to clean the cage!
