arrivals and plans

My nest box and my feeder have arrived.  Planning perhaps a simple coop.   Might talk to husband about a temporary "fence" between the driveway and the chicken area--just some type of barrier to keep out any marauding dogs, so the chickens can have a little peace when they're yardbirds.  I'm less worried about 'possums, raccoons, and cats.  They exist, but big hens are somewhat fearsome to smaller predators who might want to make them dinner.  We shall see.

The new chickens are likely to be Red Star (red sex-link) hens.  Cute new redhead residents.

Hen cave flooring coming along.  Still henless, for now.
