Seems like it was a busy weekend, Saturday The Wife and I went on errand runs. I went looking for materials to build a chicken coop, but ended up getting a good rabbit hutch that seems perfect for our little chickies.
Sunday I went to the beach, mowed the yard and smoked a cigar in the evening.
Let me ‘splain something to you about chickens. A chicken can run much faster, and is much more maneuverable in grass that is relatively knee high as opposed to grass that is over their heads. After cutting the grass, I let the chickens out for a walk, and couldn’t catch them. I had to call The Wife for help, and we ended up netting them with a towel. I caught the first two, no problem, but by then the second pair knew I was after them, and I didn’t stand a chance.
Then we watched a movie and went to bed.
Have a good week!
So are the chickens friends or are they food? Here’s my weekend: Mango Tree for drinks Friday night, the movie “White House Down” with MBJr., supermarket and a ton of cooking Saturday, and the first season of “Downton Abbey” with Natty, chess and more chess on Sunday.
These are pet chickens, we’ll release them in the yard when they’re big enough.
LOL you need to get one of those butterfly nets. Glad you had a good weekend. Have a marvellous Monday.
Best wishes Molly
looks like the hutch will last you about a week, then you’ll need a bigger one!
When they get bigger, they’re moving to the yard!
your lucky they aren’t Banty chickens, them sob’s are psycho..will attack at the drop of a feather.
That is a mighty fancy rabbit hutch/chicken house. 🙂 Cute chicks inside that fancy little (now) chicken house!
Nice coop! Now, if you handle them a lot, they will be tame enough in the future if you need to catch them for any reason. Pick them up a lot and hold them for at least a couple of minutes. Works every time for me : )
