The week started with a slushy mess of wet snow and ended with 60°F temperatures- Welcome to New England! Please enjoy some photos of my chickens this past week!
I've just been admiring how healthy and plump your chickens are looking after a very long winter. Then I compare them to my Silkie girls who choose to stick to their plain old boring chicken feed, and wonder how I can tempt them into being more adventurous on the food and treats front?! All advice VERY welcome here! ;-) Cheers, heather x
Great looking basket, would love to win it for egg collecting.
They ARE going to be as stressed as they possibly can be by virtue of the move. The only thing you can do is put some vitamins and electrolytes in their water upon arrival for a day or two and then let them settle in. Don't let them free-range for a few weeks. If the coop is big enough, keep them in the coop for the first week and then in the run for the next week or two. They need to get used to the new coop as the place to return home to at dusk.
Welcome, Linda! Nice to have you here!
With adding my new girls, I need a bigger basket like this!
