Went for a walk w/ dgd and got a rake for cleaning out the chicken run.
I talked to the gal that I've been watching chickens grow and she is changing breeds and has a hen and her young just getting feathers I can buy! Yea they will be my bday chicks! They lay the really dark eggs called Morans the hen i and mystery roo for the father. Escapees have been causing havoc in neighbor's gardens but forage well they have a incubator also and eggs for us to try to hatch out when ever h. get the run done. The chicks are just getting feathers and have learned how to forage! They also have an incubator for me!
Yesterday we got the next box frame redone and it's ready for the siding. I'm thinking of what kind of box to slide in and out maybe cardboard. Dgson said he could come by after school to collect the eggs at least once a week or every other day or so!
He helped me move ladders and the younger two helped to pick Italian plums. We got a bucket full they are really nice this year.
Yesterday I realized how great the playhouse will be for young chicks later one with the split doors and for views from outside!
This chicken venture seems to have a life of it's own dgson is going to do a poultry project this year now I just learned and he's going to keep a hen here!
