Monday

  Our chicks are not little chicks anymore. Time to come out of the smaller brooder house and into their new home. Cold weather has broke (a little more slated for Wednesday but not a huge deal). My Dad offered to let us use his old storage shed and convert it into a chicken house. That way this round of chickens can get out and explore now and then once our chicken house is built we can have our own here. Decided today's weather was too good to pass up. Sooooo loaded a picnic lunch, a blanket, fencing/fence posts and supplies...as well as Miss Kaya lol and headed to my Dad's for the day to build the chicken run.
   Run went really well. Dad and Steve put in the fence posts and connected the wire while I helped stretch it. Kaya even put a fence post in ;) She was not happy at first of her babies leaving our property but then after she realized that it meant new chicks here AND chickens at Pappaws...she was all for it lol
  We enjoyed an all day visit at Dad's and got lots done. We picked up an extra bag of laying feed for him to have. We'll split the eggs in payment for him feeding/watering them during the week. He said that was a fair deal and he was happy to have some critters on the farm :) Kaya informed him that she sings to them DAILY and he should probably just put a radio down there for them lol
  They are sweet chickens. When we loaded them Steve figured we would have a fight on our hands. Nope, hens came right to me and politely went in the carrier. The rooster even put his head on my shoulder and snuggled up. Steve was laughing and saying "Seriously??" Granted it's the same rooster I took care of when he was sick so I guess he likes me. He will crow EVERY time he sees Steve but is silent with me and Kaya lol
  So Nugget (rooster), Rose (has reddish on neck,hen) and Sardine (no red, hen) like their new home!!

The three stooges as baby chicks :) and how they look now:

Kaya sure is proud of her chickens and as you can tell they are pretty docile, sweet chickens.
