Chicken Update

Our little chicks are now in their own chicken tractor.  They have much more room in there for now.

Do you remember our hen that was attacked by a possum? She is missing an eye but has recently been reintroduced back into the chicken coop with the rest of the hens.  She spent about a week on our back porch so we could keep an eye on her and then more time in a chicken tractor alone, and then some time the tractor with some "roommates" and finally she and her roommates were placed back with the rest of the flock.

  1. I'm so glad that hen made it. Hopefully the rest of the flock accepted her back gracefully. I love the idea of chicken tractors. I think we'll need to build one someday too. Maybe two if we want to raise more than one breed.

  2. Leigh, they really do help us separate the ones who need to be separated and fertilize the yard at the same time.
