I have a call in to G., my chicken guy.
I even drove out to his house and put a note on his shop door to tell him I am ready for my hens.
He seems to be gone for the day.
Rats.
But I still had a few things to keep me busy….
I hauled straw up from the barn and filled the coop:
I put the wooden eggs I found at a second hand store into the nests:
I hung high art:
That's a carved wooden block from S. who's daughter painted it many years ago. It's perfect for a chicken coop.
I filled and hung the waterer:
Mr. P. hung the gate and we put a latch on the post. It is perfect in every way:
I added amendments to my purchased chicken feed:
I loosely followed the recipe from the Fresh Eggs Daily web site.
Oats, flax seed, garlic powder, oregano, nutritional yeast, and diatomaceous earth.
I guess I should put out a welcome sign… because dudes, we are ready to open up shop….
Here chicky chick chick!
