Chicken Update

Filed Under Chickens, Country Life | Leave a Comment

It has been 4 days without any sign of the raccoon. On Friday I was late closing up the coop and I think that the raccoon took advantage of that. Since then I am sure to get all the chickens in before sunset. Hopefully this weekend I can get the rest of the coop closed up so that the chickens can move back into the larger coop.

I am in the process of adding aside that will give you an idea of how many eggs I am getting from the chickensk. You have to remember only five are laying now and that they are only just six months old. The younger chickens are just about two and half months old, so they have about four months to go before they start to lay.

I sold my first dozen eggs to a gentleman at work. Hopefully he will be coming back for more.
