Got a Flock of Chickens

Tweet

Just about finished another major home project. I managed to scavenge most of the materials to make a secure chicken coop and fenced-in run. There is still work to do but the laying flock is already moved in. In the photo, I'm holding L'il Bit who we're told is a rooster. He's just a juvenile while the four hens are all mature. They decided not to accept him and beat the crap out of him. We had to separate him until he is fully healthy again. That's not very convenient but we'll succeed in reintroducing him in the long run. This isn't the first time we've done this. It just decided it wasn't going to be easy.
