In Anticipation of Chicks
Our Frizzle Kerfluffle has been broody on a dozen eggs, at least one each from we think all our hens except the newest ones. This weekend should be it...21 days! We've sectioned off part of the coop near the nesting boxes, and I think we're all ready.

Coop Freshmen
Our 5 1/2-week old girls on their first day free-ranging. The next day, Lee moved them to the main coop with the rest of the flock, where they are learning their place at the bottom of the pecking order.

Cluckin' Chicken is way fresh!
Since we've had chickens at home, we don't buy raw chicken anymore from the grocery store. It just doesn't feel right anymore. We'll still eat chicken at our parents, but that's about it.
