WhatTheFlock

Chilling in the summer on the back porch and the party fowl's will commence

The chickens are let lose to run amok.

Finally got the run set up for the chickens to chill and have some fun. The coop is all set and they spent a few days inside to get used to it, but now get to pop out in the morning and stay out until it is time to go to bed. Even the dogs came over to keep an eye on them and play some fetch. I did irritate Chicken a bit while he was babysitting, but everyone got to enjoy some fresh air and sunshine and some fun treats.

Ever tried putting a flock of chickens to bed? I have to say, I would much rather do battle with a gaggle of 5 year old's. They can be reasoned with. Chickens give No Flocks when it comes to bed time.

It has been a couple weeks since the chicks started coming home. Just a quick look at how much some of them have changed.

It is looking like there is going to much wasted produce in our household. Dehydrating some apples resulted in some apple cores set and ready for a great morning snack.

It was an unexpectedly gorgeous day and some of the chickens were let out for some fresh air and sunshine. I am also giving a quick preview of one of the portable garden tractors.

Today is a quick clean and some fresh wood chips after the coop clean on Tuesday. It appears the number one past time is seeing who can get to the top of the edge when the top is open to check things out. We also have some gorgeous plumage coming in on many of the chicks.

A compilation of some flapping and flopping with the chicks. They have been having a lot of fun trying out their wings. They are also loving the perch that was made specifically for them by my daughter.

Feathers are coming in on some of the older chickens and they are pretty happy to start trying out those wing feathers. We also get a really good look at the stripes that gave Stinky her name.

All worn out after all the excitement today. The cutest thing I have seen is a big pile of sleepy chicks.

Being a chilly and miserable day outside, it was time to clean out the brooder and then give the chicks some treats.

Spot never forgets. Spot also is not very forgiving...

Just a bit of time watching the chicks. Still in the brooder at this time.
