The chickens seemed a bit cramped in the little Rubbermaid container we had them in. I cant believe how quickly they are growing. It has been a lot of fun to watch.
Todd had a great idea to use our plastic garden container as a chicken area until the chicken coop is complete. The garden container has been used for garden supplies at one time, was made into a grow-box for our vegetable plants last year, and now a chicken house for the next 8-10 weeks until it's time to put them outside. They seem to be MUCH happier, and they chase each other around the area. It's so funny to watch.
Here are a few pictures :

Cute chicks! Our chickens are so tame...the kids love them! The chickens are always trying to get into the house when we open the door! One we call Blackie...she's like a cat...really...she's always with you, she loves people and likes to be held and pet...lol...so fun!
ReplyDeleteWe had chicks once, and you're right, they do grow so fast!
ReplyDeleteI like the new home for the chicks - great idea!
That's what I did, just put them in ever larger containers. However, I had ten in a box that size. Isn't it precious when they stretch those little wings?
