Mob 3 in Brief

Meal time

A brief synopsis of this week's chicken adventures:



Still 42 chickens strong and all looking healthy and hearty.  Eating like fiends and now that we've entered the adolescent stage, feeling quite full of themselves.  We're still hopeful that they'll move outside to The Fortress this weekend, but the weather is looking a little iffy.  Not sure we want their first introduction to outdoor living to be in the rain.

Since both the chicks and their food needs increased exponentially, we decided to hang the larger feeder in the nursery.  It helps decrease the mano y mano fights at meal time, and it gets them used to the new food delivery system.

The hen house is coming along - fully roofed and almost 2 sides done.  The west side will eventually have a hinged lower portion for (hopefully) easier cleaning. We're still debating on where to put the actual door for the chickens.




The lovely ladies
