Our first mass of chickens turns three this year . They have provided us with yummy eggs , manure for the garden , and sempiternal hours of entertainment with their individual personalities and wimp antics . Keeping backyard chicken turn out to be so much fun that we decided to add three more to the flock this twelvemonth .
Introducing The New Kids in the Flock
Emily , the Silver Laced Wyandotte , Phoebe , the Easter Egger and Claire , the Cuckoo Marans :
The fresh girls have moved from the indoor brooder to a small coop we ramp up earlier this bounce . It is located near the enceinte coop so both flocks can see and interact with each other . The young girls sleep together their unexampled home :
Once they move to the new miniskirt - coop , it took them almost a week before they gathered up enough bravery to venture outside into their playpen . They sit down at the door look out and egging each other on to be the first to take a step on the ramp . Eventually , I pose inside the playpen and talk with them until one by one they came out :
lastly , they were lam up and down the ramp and enjoying impertinent grass , sunshine , and dust bathe :
The new pullets will be introduce to the original flock gradually over the summer . I am hop for a smooth passage , but I expect some drama as the pecking order is correct to accommodate the new appendage .
