Hello 👋
I am planning to collect 2 new additions for my mixed flock tomorrow morning and having spoken to the breeder, they tell me that the growers are 8 weeks old rather than 11 weeks old but definitely female.

So I recently picked up a broken plastic child's slide (one of those little toy thick plastic sets).
I saw it online for free locally, and I couldn't resist.
Once I got it home, I broke it apart and started to fit it to my chickens external nest box.

Just started my flock in April this year. Small flock of three; White Leghorn & two Bantam Araucanas.
Can't get enough of the adorable little noises they make and that hilarious dinosaur run :)
