Chicken's and Roosters Move IN

Ok,

So the chickens and the roosters now have moved into the new home. They have pictures on the chicken page of the site. They will be getting a new metal roof soon as that is in, and in the correct Barn Red Color. Outside of that they are doing great.

The small chickens we received from the school are getting big. One is a Hen and the other a rooster. So that will make three of them rooster dudes. The kids in the back of the house are going to love that noise at 5am!

We had our first rooster / goose fight. Tim the white rooster jumped into the goose pen. That was a overall mistake on his part... We had a few feathers around.

OK, so the chickens are huge. Today June 15Th we are due to get two new roosters from our PCP's nurse. She has a couple of them who just are NOT mixing with the neighbors.

The chicken coop structure is done and up looking nice and ready for some inside construction. Remaining is the hardware cloth floor and braces. Roost area poles and nests. Once that is all in I will do the roof and put the ends on with the people doors and nest box door in the back. I need to cut in a pop hole for them to zip in and out of along with a nice little ladder for them as well.

The geese they are really big now and have taken to active flight practice all the time. They are too funny. Ripping as fast as they can back and forth in the pen hoping to clear the fence but just making it over the pool and stopping on the other side.
