Really? Both of you?

Hmmm. I guess it's time to get more chickens.

This mornings Duel. The darker one has been crowing most often, I guess the other one figured he had enough of the showing off and he was going to be a part of the show today too.

Dogs & Chickens a good mix? Pt 2

I've been wondering how Tasha will do with the chickens out side. As soon as the tractor run is done I planned on supervising her in there with the alpha chicken and see what happens. As it is she's been running up to the coop as if trying to get them to play with her. The alpha chicken runs up to Tasha from her side of the fence and they face off. It seems like they might actually get along once Tasha can quit trying to get them to 'play' by chasing them.

Well, I came home from work today and holy cow the chickens are out! It was only a matter of time, like I said before, the run was very temporary and just has wire draped over stuff. They were all near the coop, it looks like they just couldn't figure out how to get back in. All but one that is. Julie/Julio was in the dog run! I guess that answers that question. Both the dogs were just sitting in the shade and Julie was at the fence trying to make her way back to the rest of the flock.

Cold? or Just good friends?

Awwww, how cute. I guess they haven't gotten used to their new spacious diggs yet. They are all sharing about a 1sq ft corner of perch. I wonder how long it'll be before they start fighting. Yes I still think we have 3 roosters. Only time will tell.

Redneck Chicken Run

After keeping the chickens in their house for a week, I figured they probably wanted to go outside for a bit. I got some old chicken cages, the kind that commercially rasied chickens are kept in, from a local freecycler, and took out the dividers. What was left worked fairly well for my temporary makeshift chicken run. Throw some wire over top and prop up/hold down with other various yard junk and voi' la...
