Hi all! Hi Welcome to the newbies!
Sad chicken morning, one of my pet hens died this morning, Kosher. She was my youngest son's first chicken and when he moved he gave her and his other 3 to me. She is the one that showed me that she had round worm. She had the worse load of all and I guess she never quite recovered. When I talked to the feed store manager about her he said sometimes if they get worms bad it can effect their liver and there's not much you can do. I had her in the house for the last few months and fed her a special diet. She hung on for a few months!
R.I.P. Kosher
Here is the small coop I was working on for the babies...
Ok, not real impressive, but I had to tear out what was there, patch the cracks in the floor and rebuild it. I still have to put chicken wire up a bit higher but I have a couple weeks for that. There is a door to outside under the window but I have to get more fencing before they can go out. It's also set up to put a higher roost in but they don't need that now either. All but the chicken wire is scrap!
Here is the main coop that I had to make bigger. I still have work to do in there too. This was also all scrap except some of the wood for the nest box. That gets some work this summer too.
I took a couple more but they came out too dark.
I just thought this was cute.... old baby meets new baby!
Wow just looked at the pics as you all will see them! Looks like I need to clean too! (I did do the nest box after this was taken)
Well, night!
