Day 123 My New Chicken Abode
Tuesday, May 3 – Here are some shots of my new chicken coop. this is where the youngest chickens will live. I still have my old coop right next door where the laying hens live. If you look closely in that front shot, you will see a white chicken in the window. The ten chicks are now a full 6 weeks old and fully feathered. They have changed so much in the last few weeks and growning like little weeds. It looks like we have some roosters in the bunch, which is a disappointment. They all have names via Becca and Emma. The white one in the window (and in the coop) is Skittles and the big brown Arachana in the center is Poseidan. There are also Chewbaka, Isaak and YardBird. I guess I need to get current on all 10 names, don’t I? I am not sure which breeds we have, but looks like Sussex, Arachana, Buff Orpington, White Orpington and then mystery breed which has brown around the neck. I am really enjoying them so much. We might have to run to Missoula to pick up some hens, if there are too many roosters. These photos are not the best, as it is really hard to get a 6 week old chick stand still and pose. I included the shot of the inside of the coop to show what it looks like.

This is so sunny and nice! Mom bought a house a few years ago for rental potention and there is a wonderful chicken coop on the property. We need to go get it but just haven’t made time. Rick’s promised to do it this summer. Zane desperately wants chickens this fall. He’s an animal lover!
