Took in 3 four year old Buff Orpington birds that needed a home!

Birds were ate up with mites and pretty old. Mites were treated with frontline, but unfortunately one bird got snatched and eaten by a neighbor dog, one other passed away in its sleep 2 days after that attack, no signs of internal or external injuries, the third bird lost its tail feathers to another unrelated dog attack but is doing fine. We had planned on giving all three birds to our neighbors to start their own brood, now we only have one left. Farm life is pretty rough on those old city chickens. They sure did not last long out here.

Bread from (RIP) Snots the Rooster before we ate him! Out of 5 fertile eggs, only 1 egg expired early (Blood Ring), 1 chick pipped but did not make it, 3 healthy chicks hatched normally. All hens! Pretty good for our first try. These are white Leghorns our favorite breed on the farm. Leghorns are very friendly birds that produce over 300 tasty XL white eggs a year.

New baby chicks, 6 pullets and 1 cockerel, get moved outside!

 New chicks have been moved outside in their own cage inside the coop. They are now 4 weeks old and its time for them to join the old laying hens to get acquainted. They are moved into a pen in the yard during the day to get some needed sunlight. After about a week or two of this routine they will be allowed to free range with the others.

Started building a winter insulated chicken coop!

Rumors of a very harsh winter have prompted us to prepare. The new coop will have a much shorter inside height to make it easier for the bird's bodies to heat. The walls will also be insulated with 1 inch extruded polystyrene foam board and topped with plywood. The floor will also be insulated with plastic vapor barrier, 1" foam board, and 3/4' treated plywood and raised 2' like the other. We are hoping this will keep them living comfortable this winter.
