Moving chicks to their new home

Well we're glad that we could post again!  We moved the chickens into their new home a couple of days ago!!  So as most of y'all know we had the 95 chickens in the coop closest to our house, and we kept most of them in the coop that morning so it would be easier to get the chickens when we were ready to transfer them (We close the hatch at night and then open the hatch in the morning) ! 



We put the chickens in our dad's trailer with a tarp on top.

We had a tub that we put the chickens in and then we put it on our wagon and wheeled it over to the trailer!

The placing of the tub.


The chickens in the trailer.

The white thing that looks like a a green house (which it is!) we built with a friend of ours last year for the chickens.



This is the inside of the chicken coop.  The big white thing in the middle of the coop (there is another one behind it) is a nesting box for them to lay their eggs in. (Dad had around 13 older chickens that have been in the coop for a while and we are getting around 10 eggs a day!) 

Daddy and I (Caleb) are in the front of the trailer trying to get the chickens out.

And the Marines came down to the beach.......


Some of them inspecting their new home.

Inspecting for insectoids.




Caleb likes the tails of these chickens and he calls them "Indian feathers"!


We had a 30 gallon galvanized can that was filled with ash (from are Central broiler) and Dad emptied it and we put around 4 bags of feed in so we could use it as a container to hold the food and it would be easier for us to get the feed and not feed the field mice.

We hope y'all had a good time lookin' it the pics of the chickens!  Sorry for posting late!
Till next time, God Bless!
