Hello!
Today we got 3 new hens! They are 20 week old Isa Browns. Its been so long since we last had chickens
We got them mainly for eggs, and they are my new buddies. So far I have named one Duck. Shes my favorite.
We are going to go get another 2 within the next few days. We spent all day yesterday building their coop, and today preparing it with bedding and we decided to mesh the roof in their outside enclosure so they dont fly away on us. We were told that they may not lay for a couple weeks yet. I also scrapped up some tree branches and 2 old bits of wood to make them a roost, I was pretty happy with my efforts LOL. We still would like to change a few things around, but its fine for now.
Toby didnt know what to think of them, he got to look at them through their fence and Willow was just jealous they had a bale of hay and she didnt.
They haven't eaten much yet, we bought them Layer pellets and we have food scraps and a chart of foods they can and cant eat. I have been researching about them, mainly just about the foods and general stuff.
I'll stop here before I type a novel.
If anyone has any tips that would be great!!
I can't seem to post photos.. Ill try tomorrow
