Somehow in my blogging I have failed to mention that we have acquired 31 more chickens which brings our total up to 41. Half of the chicks, though, are meat birds and will meet the butcher in a few more weeks.
The other chicks are an assortment of egg layers, six of which are Americanas that can lay blue, green or pink eggs (or so they say. We have yet to see.)
Above is a picture of Bob's homemade chicken tractors. As they get pulled across the grass, the chickens have new grass to eat everyday. Once we get to our new property we will be able to free range the chickens, but while here in our neighborhood we try to keep our chickens from ranging into other people's yards.
The meat birds - this is pretty much what they do all day. Sit around and eat. And poop.
The egg layers are much more active.
