How many chickens ive got.

Today I built a new roost for the chickens. They like the new roost. It is very high. But the little chickens like sitting on top of the nest box i try to keep them off the nest box because they jump beside Lizzie' the broody one' and she pecks them.

I used 28mm dowling. and I measured the width of the chicken house. Then I sawed the dowling to the right length. I screwed the fittings to the walls and then I sandpapered the ends of the dowlings and pushed the perch into the fittings.

Brittany's egg.

Today Brittany laid me a nice brown egg. She always always makes me brown eggs. She laid it beside lizzy; the broody one. So i had to take it from her. Brttany came out to play in the garden. Then she went Book Book to tell me that there is an egg.

Today Lottie is still on her 5 eggs. She turns them every day. She looks after them very well and keeps them warm. Lottie takes a short break to eat and drink then she gets back on her eggs again.

Lizzie goes broody

Today Lizzy started to go broody. I hope not because she was broody before and she pecks the other chickens and tries to go in the nest box. I have taken the straw out of the nest box and replaced it with sawdust.

One of lotties eggs Yesterday.

Yesterday I went into the chicken house to pick up Brittany's egg. I looked over where Lottie's nest box was and saw Lottie get off her eggs . She went outside to eat so I walked over to look at the eggs and noticed that one of them had a crack in it. So we took the eggs inside to have a look with a bright light. I think I could see the big air sac inside each of the eggs. We moved Lottie out of the old nest box and put her in the other coop. Then we and put the new chickens I was given last week in with the big chooks. So today Lottie came out to have somthing to eat and drink. Then she hoped back on the eggs again.

Chickens Day.

Yesterday the little chicks & the big chooks played outside in the dirt. They loved playing in the dirt and made big holes and a big mess. They like digging in the garden and in the dirt.
When I open the coop door they rush out and run across the lawn to play in the garden.
Brittany jumps over the water bowl and the dust bath. They like sleeping on the nest box but I try to put them on the perch just beside Lottie, the broody one.

New Frizzle Bantam

On Thursday I got a new bantam Frizzle from Jill. The Frizzle chick is black and she likes to eat the mash I make the chooks.
