Making Improvements To The Coop For 15 New Chickens

The boys have more orders for eggs from ‘The Happy Chick’ than they can handle!  So today we went and picked up 15 new chicks (who are about 10 weeks away from laying), that Andres and Marcos paid for with the own money!  They had a choice to take out a loan from Mom and Dad (a great opportunity to talk all about borrowing money and paying interest, etc) OR to use the majority of their own cash, and that is what they opted for.  These little entrepreneurs are SOOOOO excited about their venture!

Andres hung all the water and feeders so the chickens would have a cleaner water and food supply (pine shavings get constantly kicked in).

Nine were Barred Plymouth Rock Baron’s (black and white) and six were Buff Orpingtons (light brown).

If everything goes well, they will have roughly 50 laying hens by the end of summer!
