Because chickens can’t swim

Breadcrumb Navigation

The weather forecast is calling for heavy rain, and the last time that happened the poor chickens aside from the adult layers were wading in an inch of water in their pen.
So I postponed the meat birds butcher day and moved everyone into the barn until it’s safe for them outside.

Luckily we haven’t had any farm weather losses in 2021 yet, but many have. I am so sad for them.

Chicken Tetris at its finest!

Meat birds in a stall by themselves, layers in the chickshaw in the barn with full access, and the young 3 week-old Marans are back in the brooder.

Oh, and Star is due for lambing tomorrow! She is about to pop. So I have left a space for her as well.

What fun!
