The final Run

Our Chicken Tractor

With the help of some wonderful friends we got a chicken run added to the girl's new home this weekend. It was great having the help and we can't thank the Smith family enough. Especially the boys who fished the hens out form under the coop so I didn't have to do it! I sure appreciate that! Thankfully the chickens quickly learned how to use their ramp to get back into the coop and I don't have to do the chasing anymore. I can't decide who is happier about that the chickens or myself.

A new home... for the chickens that is

Everyone came together to help get the chicken's new home completed. Boy was I excited to move those little girlies out of my house! Above is our smallest but most passionate helper on the farm.

Even more babies

Yes, as you can see we have even more babies at the Branch Farm this week!

I went from pigs in my yard to chickens in my sink. Maybe I should begin to draw the line somewhere! (they are in my laundry room sink, not kitchen sink yuck that'd be gross). These little guys were given to us as a gift for my husband's birthday. What a perfect git it was! He couldn't have asked for anything better, we love new additions to the farm. Plus I love the fact that the chicken coop I purchased over a year ago finally got put together for these little guys; oops I mean girls. We have six rhode island red hens. They will be kept under a heat lamp for about another week then let out into our garden to do what they do best.... spread manure and pick the ground. We can't wait to get there help out there!
