More pics of the chickies arriving this week....













And more pics of the very happy chickadees, finding the feeders and making themselves right at home! The chickens come in on semi trucks and are brought into the chicken houses as shown above....it's a very interesting process. There are only hens in the houses right now; the roosters arrive tomorrow (Friday). In all, we have about 8,800 hens and 500 or so roosters in each house, so just under 10,000 birds! That's going to be a lot of eggs rolling down the conveyor belts here in a few weeks! I think we'd better enjoy this little break we get with our current "babysitting" duty only! :) Seriously, my husband is monitoring the chickens very closely, making sure every bird is eating and drinking and moving around well....and so far, so good!
Okay, now I'll find some quilting to do....what a stressor....NOT! :)
Until we chat again,
