13...
I went to work on Sunday morning for a few hours. The kids went to play at their Grandma's house, and Andrew took care of some dirty work. After a long conversation we decided that Crutches #1 and #2 would not fair well. Even if they did heal mostly, they would be pecked by the other chickens and we would have to worry about re-injury, or injury to the other leg. So I came home and their little box was empty. I'm not asking how or where, but they are gone. Now I'm questioning my ability to butcher the adult hens in a year...
But on the bright side, the coop is almost done. We are just finishing up trim, the door needs a coat of paint, and we will probably paint the inside for easier cleaning. Then the 13 chicks get to move into their new home, which needs to happen fast as their wings are getting full of feathers!
Earth Day is this Thursday and I have nothing planned for the kids and I to do. Perhaps we will spend the day in the garden...Do you have plans yet?
