Raising Chickens

Raising Chickens

 

This is my first blog post so I'm learning as I go. I thought I'd just start with a blog about raising our chickens. My husband and I recently purchased some chickens online, 8 Barred Rock and 8 Buff Orpingtons. We plan on keeping some chickens for the eggs and some we plan to butcher for the meat. We also would like to start hatching our own eggs once these chickens start to lay. They are now 7 weeks old. We converted our shed into a coop and then built a little fence onto the side of it. The twins love the chickens and love trying to catch them but my oldest, Penny, could take them or leave them. That's why she's not in any pictures with them ;)
