Anne & Margaret – First Day in the Coop!
***
We got three chickens a couple weeks ago. One was old enough to go in the coop right away, but two needed to stay inside in a brooding box a couple more weeks. We had planned to put them out in the coop this weekend, but ended up doing it last night because they were going so stir crazy! It has been very funny watching them try to figure out where they are, what they are supposed to do, how they are supposed to eat.
Say hi to Margaret and Anne! 🙂
