Chickens!

We got our girls a few weeks ago. I can't even remember when we got them, or how old they are now. The last time we got chicks I was more thoughtful. But don't worry...our new girls are happy, healthy, and all around in good spirits. 

We have quite a few more hens this run.  We started with 14 and lost two. 
12 is a fair number.  Only, I absolutely love having chickens and I might squeeze in a few more.  Here's a run down of what we have:

Black Australorp
Barred Plymouth Rock
Americauna
Rhode Island Red

We bought one hen house and Mr. Foy made the other.  That crafty farmer took our un-used dog kennel and transformed it into the Playhen Mansion.

I think tomorrow we're picking up a rooster from a gal in town. 
Another reason for our neighbors to question our sanity.

 We kept the chicks in a tote (with a heater) in the garage until they got large enough to move into the chicken tractor.  We moved them into the larger coop just as soon as it was finished.
