We moved the chickens outside finally!!! They dirtied up the bathtub so bad. We cleaned it up. The chickens have done great outside in their coop. We let them into the run just a couple days ago. At first they were timid, but now they love coming outside. Only our gray araucana doesn't.

The chickens absolutely love the deck. They like it more then the sandbox. Especially on days that it is raining.

Here are two pictures of chickens hanging out inside. A nice escape when everyone is outside.

I found out today that chickens really like beech tree leaves. They like them better than oak and maple. It is crazy.

This is the feeder. The chickens have to stick their heads inside the pvc pipe to get at the food. That makes it impossible for them to waste it. Trust me, YOU want to make this! They waste over 1/4 of their feed.

This is a good chicken website.  Here they will teach you everything you will need to know about raising chickens. From what kind of food to feed them, to chicken breeds that have feathers that stick strait out, what to do when you have no egg production, and ways to keep your chickens healthy.

 The chickens are getting larger and more curious, I will make a post soon about moving them to the finished coop.
