Backyard Farm Day 16






Ah, I never blog on the weekend, but I couldn't wait. The HENS ARE HERE! We drove out to sweet, sweet Riverside and picked them up. These gals are about 5 months old, so they're still a month from laying eggs. They're Rhode Island Reds, so we'll get brown eggs. Boy, are they docile. Waylon is thrilled with them and has been wading right in. You're correct, that is our child barefoot in a chicken coop. We're giving him a Silkwood shower now. The gals seem happy, as far as happy chickens go. Next up, we'll build the chicken moat.
