we got chickens







This is batch #2....in our first batch 5 of 8 were escape artists and with all the wildlife ...coyotes, rats (yes, really big chicken hunting rats...they knocked off part of batch #2), foxes, and a big furry cat that lives here....they didn't stand a chance...so sad....but these ones did better until we put them out in the coop with some of the adult hens....then like I said before...rats...literally...yikes!

This is Gordon's first little chick named spike...it was the cutest of the whole bunch....it died of natural causes...R.I.P....he was really sad so he made a little coffin for the little guy!

Send my condolences to Gordon. Tell him good job on the coffin too. :)
