Moving Day!

So these cute little babies arrived to the farm a couple of weeks ago, three to be exact. Aren't they adorable. They are definitely the cutest at this stage. Even Sarah Katherine couldn't stop picking them up.

So after two to three times a day feedings, filling up waterers, and also adding shavings every couple of days to their bedding, it was time for them to be moved outside.  With all of the spring-like weather we were having, it was perfect timing. 

So this past Sunday, we finished up the new design for the chicken tractor and decided to split the 200 baby chicks between the old style that we had last year and the new hoop design that we built this year. 

The one on the left is the old design and the one on the right is the new and improved version. It is much easier to get in and out of. Plus, it is much easier to move across the pasture everyday so the chickens can get plenty of grass and insects.

Before moving them into their new home, we had to put together some feeders. Shaggy decided that she would help me out and make sure that everything met her standards. 

The chicks were the loaded up and moved to their new home. Can't you see how happy they are enjoying some sunshine!

And here the moving day has ended happily with some fresh grass to feed on and some sunshine to  enjoy!
