Chicken Chat

The chickens are going on 7 weeks old now and spend as much time as they can (if I'm home) exploring the yard!

Here's all 10 of them :)

They spotted me taking pictures and had to come check it out. 

Here's "Angel" on the right....one of the sweetest and loves to be held

Now they're getting way to comfortable!

Notice Spooky way over to the right "Babysitting"  They could care less that she watches them :)

Here's "Little Jerry" on the left.  Pretty sure he's a boy :)

Here's Jerry trying to keep his balance

And now he's trying to escape the camera :)

Who invited YOU?!

I'm trying to do a "photo-shoot" here and your not invited!!

Angel~ Get out of the picture!!!

The race is on.....there's Jerry on the right (or Gerry if he's a she??)

So much for getting my photo's done....these girls (and one boy) are too much :)

If I'm not taking pictures of them- I'm feeding them.  They love broccoli from the garden.  Good thing they're too short still to know where it is :)

Chicken Coop

We put the chicken coop in place under the birch tree for some shade.  We had it built so that we could move it around with the tractor.  The run will be attached and also be removable.

My coop was custom built by the owner of theshedsmith.com
A company in Wendell Mass that uses locally milled lumber and reclaimed windows for coops, sheds etc.   Wonderful to work with and would highly recommend!

More pics coming soon :)
