Two weeks ago we got our first chickens. Since the earliest we could get chicks is in April we decided to get some older hens to start out with so we can have eggs earlier. We found three lovely 4 month old pullets and spent a weekend setting up the area to keep them in. We got a white leghorn, black sexlink and red sexlink.

Aren't they purdy?

This weekend DH finished modifications on their coop which used to be a rabbit hutch that didn't quite work out for our rabbits. DH had to put in bigger wire in the bottom so all the poop can fall through under their roosting area. Of course the girls are SO curious about what's going on and had to be part of everything!

Their actual roost area is another box section that fits on top of where DH is currently working in this photo.

DH also made modification to their waterer so it can hang instead of being on the ground where it got sand kicked into it constantly. I think they appreciate the modification!

We haven't gotten any eggs yet, but I can tell you that our whole family is enjoying the antics of the chickens immensely! They are MUCH more entertaining than rabbits could ever hope to be, LOL!
