poultry project..another update

The girls they are a growin!  Since the last post about the ladies, we have aquired two Americana's and two Golden Link Pullets. There was some friction at first, but now every one seems to be getting along. The boys are taking very good care of them, and get in to the coop everyday to check the feed, and water, and clean. Senior teases them that they are in the coop so much, he will move their bed out there.  ha ha.  The kids also like playing with the girls, and like to place them on their shoulders and arms to sit.



The babies are growing as well, This past weekend Senior and Mr. Farmer built a new brooder box for us. Complete with a roost, and trap door for me to sweep out the poo. I tried to get a good picture of them, but the little critters jump around so much it is difficult.  The attitudes are starting to flair, so we are not quite sure how many roosters we may have. But I am suspicious of at least two or three.
