Looks like I need to update the pictures after the paint.

We got the first eggs todays.

katoranger · 07-29-2013, 05:13 PM

Two brown eggs.

Nice eggs!

I'm glad to see your hard work is coming to fruition.

FastDoc · 07-30-2013, 01:22 PM

I miss our chickens. Not many pets that can contribute to your food chain and live to cluck about it.

Looking forward to updates pics of the coop.

I just moved it. Forgot to get the pictures. We have been getting two eggs a day for a total of eight now.

They are about half size.

I just spent the evening loading scrap for a run tomorrow.

Weldangrind · 08-01-2013, 10:15 PM

I'm guessing that half-sized eggs have lower cholesterol.

Have you found a scrap dealer that offers a decent price?

katoranger · 08-01-2013, 10:32 PM

The closest one is about 15 miles away. We are going that direction so I loaded up the trailer and got it ready. I only expect about $50-75.

Separated out the electric motors and copper wiring for some old appliances. I saved the drum from a dryer I scrapped to hold all the wiring. When I fill that I will take it in.

A few update pics.

SpudRider · 08-15-2013, 02:57 AM

Those chickens have grown well!

katoranger · 08-18-2013, 11:27 PM

Putting out some chicken breakfast and all them in bed.

Thanks for posting the update, Allen.

I just ordered 20 chicks. 4 different varieties. I am going to place an order later for some meat chickens.

Before our ride to Bonneville last year, we went to the local ranch store to get some supplies. Even though it was the first week of August, they still had some young chicks (peeps) for sale. SoWaG (Sam) enjoyed handling the peeps, as do most of us.
