Sold Chickens

I sold six of my young hens today. Sad to see them go, but I had to get them homes for the winter. I hand raised them this spring from my stock. They were so friendly. Now I am down to my Delawares. I have 8 of them and one rooster.

Moving to a new place

Our chickens have grown and they seem to be enjoying life. I caught them all trying to get a drink of water at the same time.

But just when you think your settled, life changes. You move.
Now moving three coops and 20 chickens has it draw backs, but we just couldn't resist the new place.





We bought a home in Mendon Utah. We fell in love. Here is a picture of our Old new home. I think it is a nice place to raise chickens. It came with an old coop and run. As I try to get things in order the hens are enjoying the old coop.

I think is has a little class of days gone by. Of course before I would let a chicken enter I had my husband spray it very well to evict all the spiders and hornets. After a through cleaning I rather like its simplicity.
