Eggs!

 One of the things in life that brings me great joy...

In June of 2022 I ordered chicks from Dunlap Hatchery in Idaho.  They're sort of local so less stress on them being shipped.  I ordered 25.  12 were for my brother and 13 for me.  The hatchery sent soooo many more as it was their last hatching for the season.  I gave away some to Steve's niece, Cassandra, and my brother took a few extra. I ended up with 23 birds.  So far, 3 are roos.

The ex came over to see the chicks.

In November of 2021 I purchased two PP 8x8 Universal Poultry Pens from Tractor Supply.  They look nice and sturdy. I got the chicken coops from Amazon. The waterer came from OverEZ, feeder from Grandpas Feeders, and electronic doors.  We have yet to install the doors.

OverEZ waterer.  Holds 12 gallons of water with no-waste, drip-free nipples.  Enough for three to drink at one time. We put a heating element in there during the winter.

Grandpas Feeders, the large, holds up to 40 lbs of poultry feed. Hinged lid prevents sparrows, rats, mice, and other pests from access.  Less waste too.

My granddaughter, Charlie, loves looking at the chickens.

Snow and the barnyard.

Even the dog got used to the chicks.  LOL.
