Dear Gage and Gabe,
We have recently decided to raise our own chickens. Daddy worked very hard to build a nice home for our chickens. He built them a cozy coop with nesting boxes, roosting rods and little ramps. Their yard is fully enclosed to protect them from all the critters roaming the countryside. I think we will eventually let them out to free range, but we're going to be a little protective at first. The chickens that we got from a neighbor down the road are still a too young to lay eggs, but within a couple of months, we will be enjoying fresh eggs daily!

OK, so I'm impressed! What exactly is a "roosting Pole"?
ReplyDeleteThank you! Billy did a great job. Our roosting pole looks like a ladder, with round rods as the "steps." They perch on them at night.
