Sorry it has been so long, I have been busy with planting things and doing school and baseball. Now school is over so I can do more updates and talk about chickens more.
The chickens are so cute and they are almost big enough to start laying eggs. Only 6 weeks away hopefully. The coop is a nice round place for them to stay in at nice. The chicken run is a nice grass area but they are stomping it down, it is covered with netting so large animals and birds can't get them, such as hawks, eagles, cougars, fox, raccoon's, and possums. They seem to love it.
The chickens are eating chick starter as well as watermelon, which they LOVE! They eat other vegetable table scraps. They eat a lot!
My chicken, Hope, is the calmest chicken there ever way. Winter is the sweetest and Willow is adorable. My moms chicken, Peck, pecks. She is very pushy. Ally's chicken, Ruth, is the most curious chicken around. She gets her beak into everything.
Here are a few pictures to see what they chickens look like.
