New Girls

I met a new friend this week.

Her name is Kathy.

She has a BEAUTIFUL farm in our town.

But she has decided she would like to move a little closer to town.

A little more like city/country living.

So they are moving tomorrow,

to a community behind our house,

1.5 acre lots,

BIG houses,

no animals.

So she needed a home for some of her animals.

I was happy to take 9 of her layer hens.

I didn't take her turkey

or her rooster.

She caught them last night and put them in dog crates.

Rod and I drove over early this morning and picked them up.

Put them in our medium coop.

We have a new Barred Rock (the one with the stripes)

Two random white hens (possibly white rocks)

4 standard red production hens

an Easter Egger

and a little white Silkie.

Kyle wanted a Silkie when we bought our last hens,

but they didn't have any at the time.

They make GREAT broody Mamas.

We'll keep them segregated for a couple of days.

Make sure everybody is healthy.

(They look good though)

And then let them out to "general population"

before we leave for vacation

and Jim takes over animal control at our house.

Welcome Ladies!

Now GET TO WORK!
