It is a good thing to remember if you are buying chicks from the feed store, because even though they are "sexed", they are not 100% for sure. The hand in the pen is the best way to tell. Hens naturally run... roosters naturally advance, it is in their nature. I've been learning a lot by experience, lol! Hope you had a wonderful weekend!!

I'm so excited to hear that you are starting your very own chicken coop - it will be quite an adventure, lots of learning, and fun for all! I will tell you that the chickens will destroy your garden during planting and growing seasons, but do a great job fertilizing and turning it when it is not planted. You might need a backup plan for the summer when you are planting. I'm running into that problem here, lol! I wish you the best of luck!!!!

I thought I was going to get some strawberries, but most of them did not bring forth the berry, just the bloom :( Lucky you to have the local berries there now, none here yet!

It should arrive early June and we then need to prep it (weatherproof it etc) and then build it upon some treated wood (so it doesn't sit directly upon the ground). We plan on putting it next to our big fenced in vegetable/fruit garden and make it connect to the garden via a small sliding door. They can be in the garden when we are home and in their pen when we are not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489696027613465792.post-28565004876025927962016-05-28T18:08:46.277-07:002016-05-28T18:08:46.277-07:00I loved the story.

Which by the way I think is a perfect name regardless that he's a Rooster or will be. I once had a cat named, Rosebud that as a kitten when I took it to the vet was told is was a "Rocky" as we renamed it instead. - Such fun learning about raising chickens. Oh wild strawberries, they are fun to eat but they are so tiny you need a lot of them to make a shortcake with. We have local berries here right now, yum! Have a great time at the wedding. Heading up to my brother's cabin tomorrow for a BBQ in the mountains.Idahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14587867197850064349noreply@blogger.com
