My chicks are doing great. The broilers are really getting big. I love feeding the hens out of my hand. They come running to me now as I come in the coop. Really, raising them is more fun than I thought it would be. I thought this would be to teach the grandkids that food just doesn’t magically appear but someone had to work for us to eat it. We have had a couple of hen parties in the coop.
The grandkids love to bring their friends over and show off their hens. I made way to many potatoes for Easter but my girls helped me out. They ate a whole pie plate full and were looking for more. My dear husband did a great job with the coop. The fence is up and on warm days the chickens have been outside. He likes things more rustic then I do but for a coop it is a cool rugged look.
With watering them twice a day and washing up their feeding trays I think I need a garden sink of some sort. After looking on the web and thinking about it I have a few ideas. I need it for washing veggies, potting plants and now for watering the chickens. I have always held to “form follows functions” but with a garden sink I think it might be more like “form follows FUNKtion”. Got any ideas you would like to share? What is your latest project?
