Our New Chickens and Their New Homes

Last week, we were blessed by God when he gave us 7 more biddies at no cost! There are 2 Blue Bantams and then 5 other little guys. Below are pictures of the venture from inside "babies", to outdoor chicks of the "real world".

Here's a shot of where Georgia and Harry lived for a couple of days.

This is a close up of them.

The first couple of days, the biddies stayed in a little cage on the table.

We put the lights and then covered them to keep them warm.

Notice the light source is in the shape of a monkey!

After a couple of days, they biddies made their way into the pen with the other chickens.

The Ray Roberts' family blessed us by giving some PVC to us. This is how we used it.

This is a picture of what the new chicken runs looked like before.

This is after a day of very hard work.

I put this "Bird Block" over the run to prevent them from flying out. It was actually to put over plants to keep the birds from eating them.

I put the 4 bigger pullets into the new run. When the biddies get bigger, they'll join them. The 2 Blue Bantams will have their own area to themselves.

Here's Darlene checking out her new space.

There will be no laughing at my lack of carpentry skills!

We used this as the gate for the new goats area beside the chickens.

Here are the coops ready for use!
