Big helper


This is the best chicken coop preparer around! Little Miss E can spread more wood chips in a minute than any other chicken farmer around.  :)

Last week we decided to separate our latest batch of meat chicken into two different coops. We had a total of 43 but have lots two since we got them. When we first put them into the coop it seemed so large for them. But within one week it was beginning to become overcrowded as these chickens are specifically breed to double in size each week. They left us no choice but to separate the flock into two separate areas. The above pic is the new coop we moved 20 of them into. We put down wood chips to help hold heat and help compost the manure they drop.
