Chicken waste

So what did I do with all the shavings and waste from their chicken box?

We had a flower bed at the top of the driveway that was pretty gravely so I used the shavings to raise the bed a bit and also putting stuff to compost in there to add nutrition to the area.

I pour whatever left over water they have each day on the flower beds.

First time in their chicken condo!

The girls spent their first night in their new home 7/1/10.  They are 2 months old now.

Of course Reechipeep was the first one to venture down.  But I goofed and took the video sideways -  oops.

They all came down within 5 minutes which is faster than I anticipated, but I should have known.  They like to be together and Reechipeep tends to be the mother hen.   I let them outside the ark for a bit and was able to get them back into their grazing area the usual way with their food.  I am still going to let them graze loose when I and Spooky are home to keep an eye on them.

We've got more work to do on the ark, like hanging their new food and water containers, but I wanted to use the ones they were used to for their first day.  More pics to come!
