Yep. In that nexus point between "susatinability" wife and "preparedness" husband there is just enough space to make 2010 the year to chicken "experiment"!
So today we got the starter chicks and some loner gear from farmer friends. The garage needs spring cleaning so that I can begin making their coop. Between the coop and the fence, it should all come together just as the chicks become chickens.
Or, at least that is the plan.
Heavy on irony, they come in a "happy meal box" like undercooked nuggets:
They get to live in the garage while they get bigger and I build a coop and fix the fence:
And to complete the irony, there is a food lamp to keep them warm:
So we will see how this grand experiment goes.
Any other chicken folks here?
