Cleanin' the coop

On Saturday we cleaned out the older girls coop that was filled with shredded paper and we filled it with hay instead.  We'll give you before and after pictures!

Before...

..and After.

Before....

...and after.
And so on..


We were glad to be able to clean the coop again since we've been getting cleaner eggs!
As ya'll know we got our cow....

...and we are in the process of finishing a lean-to for her (12 by 16) .  That'll be on the next post!
Till next time, God Bless!

Baby chick!

On Sunday we wanted to move the eight chickens (after church) that we got from our neighbor and while we were doing that we heard a, "peep".  Now we knew we had a couple girls brooding so we ran in the chicken coop and saw a baby chicken on the floor!  We were very exited to find our own baby chick!

We think it is a Golden Comet chicken!

We were once again like, "Wow, it's so small!"

But Mr. chicky died.  He wouldn't eat the food we gave him, he would just eat bugs.
The other chickens are doing fine, we have two Buff Orpington roosters of the eight that we got from our neighbor, and the rest are girls, that we know of!
We hope to post Saturday when we clean out the old girls coop!
Till next time,
God Bless!
