We picked up the chickens today! Patrick, Joslin and I drove up to Polk to the Meyer Hatchery and picked up our 6 Golden Buffs. The guy carried all 6 chickens to the truck- 3 in each hand. They rode home in one of our dog crates.
Once we got home we let them cool off in the shade while we put their water and food in the coop. Kitten came to check them out too which the chickens did not like one bit.
They are very fun to watch. Patrick likes to open the door and watch them. It is like a new TV!
We have thrown two spiders and a worm in there for them as a treat. They will stay in the coop for a few days while they settle in and decide this is where they are going to live.
We are still thinking of names. I like Scratch. Patrick likes Fredbob or Belle.
Bring on fresh eggs!
