Chickens Return…

July 12th, 2010

Well it has been a couple of months since my previous flock of chickens had met with a grisseley end, but in that time I managed to fix a few problems and anticipate a couple more. So the time came to get some more chickens.

The girls came from a breeder in Hill Top, and they are a motley crew of Hybrids. It’s different having hybrids, I’m usually a pure breed kind of guy, but I do have to admit that the mixture of colours and personalities is rather nice.

They arrived approx 3 weeks ago, and are settling in rather nicely. Mind you, a handsome rooster amidst their august company wouldn’t go astray… Anyone have a lovely boy they are looking to re-home?

The next step is to get them into the chicken dome for spring? And then to turn the permanent enclosure into a grow-out area for meat chickens.

There’s always something to do…
