In Memory of my Daddy...

Chicken Tractor (aka: chicken coop)

Over the weekend the chicken tractor was completed and moved to the yard. Which meant that the chicks got moved to the yard too! It is really close to the house for right now. But it is moveable, that is why it is called a chicken tractor. My knowlege of chicken and chicken talk has grown in the past two months.






This is the egg door. The nesting boxes will be in front of these two doors. That way we can reach in and get the eggs from the back. That is IF they nest in the nesting boxes. I have heard some people put straw and golf balls in the boxes to show the hen what to do.





Here they are in their new digs. Ready to explore the world.











And here we have a green snake caught in the hen house. Don't look to happy about that either.

Happy 4th of July!

We celebrated with our usual Tractor Parade. Big tractors, pedal tractors, practice milking cows, baby pigs and lots of cousins!
